Children’s TV Cookery Shows

by Food Urchin
What sort of TV exists for children to help them inspire to new culinary heights? Danny, aka Food Urchin, gives us a brief appraisal, or critique, of some of the children’s cookery shows that he's watched with his young twins. Is this the television that could well be responsible (or not) for the Michelin chefs of the future?

The Antiques Road Show meets the X-Factor in Simon Cowell’s latest TV project, Food Glorious Food. Carol Vorderman has put down her calculator (and presumably her detox diet) to travel round the country to find “Britain’s most glorious recipe.” Victoria gave her verdict on the first episode.

BBC's Food & Drink classic 1980's series was one of the first popular magazine shows about food. After a break of eleven years the show has re-appeared, with new presenters and a new look. Will it run for another twenty years? Will it inspire a nation to push their culinary boundaries? Danny aka food blogger, Food Urchin, gives his verdict.

Fearnley-Whittingstall caused a bit of a publicity storm when promoting his new book & Channel 4 TV Series River Cottage Veg. He said that in principle puppy farms were OK and that if we ate pigs we shouldn’t be averse to eating any animalGreat British Chefs’ guest blogger Monica Shaw watched the first episode of his show (which aired on Sunday night) about living on nothing but vegetables for a whole summer.

We now know that River Cottage TV Chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has eaten some strange things in his life, but is his latest statement just a publicity stunt to promote his new book? He spent more than five months being a vegetarian for the latest series of his River Cottage TV show and has penned non-meat recipes for a new cookbook, River Cottage Veg Every Day!
