PBS Food Goes Online

Food shows have been a part of our household since the day they started. From cooking shows, to food culture, chefs,  everything about them was great. Unfortunately, the quality of food shows turned more  into entertainment rather than a reality where the cooking prowess was no longer as catchy as the personality of the show.

The Food Network has given us a fair share in both, moving from what has been a regular show for the family, but eventually, a ground for chef battles, competition, among others. It is no longer just a plain cooking entertainment but rather, a clash of personalities being shown on television. There’s much more drama in food than is shown between two cooks. The simple kitchen setting, with a chef or a cook trying to empower people through preparing great meals is slowly fading away, in exchange for a quicker cooking time using store-bought, pre-processed ingredients while speaking in a very fast manner. The message is no longer how you can prepare great meals from scratch, but rather keeping up with the current trend, to the point of sacrificing the real value of a cooking show. I know many are still looking for that quality show that could bring a family and all cooking enthusiasts together. Something new is cooking at PBS as it goes online.

This is where the newest PBS project comes in perfectly. The PBS food aims to provide that quality food television show closer to people, to families, to friends. This includes compilation of the best food articles, videos from their current television shows, and of course recipes that  people can look into while surfing the website. This allows the viewers and followers of PBS to review past episodes of popular PBS programs like Made in Spain and local programs such as Check, Please! and many more. Lots of viewers and PBS loyal followers would enjoy this online offering by PBS. PBS has gathered big names in the industry, the likes of famous food star Martha Stewart, James Beard Awardee Jose Andres, and of course, one of the pillars of the culinary industry, Julia Child, and many more. Audience will be able to learn great things from these experts, from healthy cooking and eating, the best restaurants in different areas, international cuisines, and just about everything that you are looking for in a food station – everything can be checked out on the website. And they also launched the newest blog on this platform called Fresh Tastes. You can expect original notes and write-ups from two of the industry’s great bloggers, Marc Matsumoto of norecipes.com and Jenna Webber of eatliverun.com. PBS food is ready to give you what you need when it comes to food and everything about it.

PBS Food Goes OnlineEvery good thing, big or small, about PBS is put in one great platform, a compilation of the best of PBS that anyone from around the world can check out, wherein actual learning can be obtained at his/her comfort and convenience. Learn and experiment on some recipes, anytime and anywhere.

With PBS, I look forward for more educational and accessible cooking lessons and programs and be able to apply them in a real-life setting. The feeling of a more relaxed viewing at your own time and pace romps up the excitement. This should give a really fresh viewing for many food lovers. I’d like to have the kind of food entertainment that does not only focus on the cook or the chef or the setting, but giving focus to its entirety.
