The Most Delectable Cooking Shows to Watch on Netflix

Are you tired of relying on your three go-to dishes, over and over? Speaking to journalists for her new Netflix show Waffles + Mochi, former First Lady Michelle Obama shared that she used to make the same meal for her daughters—couscous and broiled chicken—all the time (relatable). The answer to diversifying your dinner recipe rotation may be found on Netflix. The streaming platform is home to countless cooking and food shows, including the delightful, kid-friendly one hosted by Mrs. Obama (alongside two puppets).

If you're longing to travel, shows like Somebody Feed Phil and Ugly Delicious span the globe to unpack the world's best culinary offerings. Inspired by her bestselling cookbook, Samin Nosrat's four-part series, Salt Fat Acid Heat unpacks the primary components of cooking, and in doing so gives lessons that'll be welcome in any kitchen. If prefer a good adrenaline rush, watch high-stakes competition shows like The Final Table. Those of you who attempted to bake bread during quarantine will particularly enjoy Nailed It! or The Great British Baking Show.

And that's just the start. Below, find shows that profile renowned chefs, offer helpful tips, rehabilitate failing restaurants, and more. Our advice? Make sure you have some snacks on hand, because your stomach will growl.
