Cooking Shows and Cooking

Saturday, August 01, 2009

Michael Pollan has a new essay in this week’s New York Times Magazine, about cooking and food television and its effects.  I’ve not had a television since I moved out of my parents’ house (and never watched cooking shows before that, either), so I would be interested to hear everyone else’s takes on it.  I do, however, think that the last point probably sounds right to most of us: “Eat anything you want — just as long as you’re willing to cook it yourself.”  (I admit that I have been failing at that lately, but it remains my goal.)
