Made cooking glamorous  

You’ve always aspired to be a popular chef, but never received any encouragement! Well, if you really want your dream to come true, you must participate in such shows to prove your mettle. There is no denying the fact that these shows have glamorised cooking by taking it to a different level. Earlier, only the actors were considered celebrities but now a popular chef is also considered a celebrity. Thanks to the trend of these shows!

Provides infotainment

You are an aspiring chef and want infotainment on this subject sitting right at your house...then these shows are your cup of tea. Clad in beautiful attires, the celebrity chefs equip viewers with knowledge ranging from ingredients to garnishing. In this regard, Ruposhi Bangla’s Byanjonborno deserves a special mention. It not only provides such tips, but also shares recipes of Indian as well as world cuisines.

Enlightens about culinary terms

How many of us knew the basic culinary terms like tempering, sauté or smoking? These shows not only teach people cooking skills, but also enlighten us about the various culinary terms while cooking delicious dishes on the show.

Gives confidence to women  

Shows like Rannaghar (Zee Bangla) encourages viewers to participate in the programme and showcase their creativity. Isn’t it an interesting way to instil confidence amongst women?

Inspires men as well

How can one forget Star Jalsha’s Ebar Jalsha Rannaghore where, once in a while, men share their knowledge about cooking? Earlier, cooking was thought to be a ladies’ job. However, after the arrival of cookery shows, men too seem to take interest in cooking up a storm!
