If you really love cooking, sometimes you just want to kick back and watch a television show about your favorite hobby. But cooking shows vary beyond the simple reality competitions and Food Network cooking tutorials. These quality cooking-themed television programs dig a bit deeper, and we highly recommend them.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

There’s a reason Anthony Bourdain was a famous chef. He really knew what he was doing and was a captivating screen presence. This is incredibly clear on his Travel Channel TV show, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, in which Tony and his crew traveled the world and got to know new places through the local cuisine.

Unwrapped

This one’s an oldie but a goodie. For those who grew up with Unwrapped, going back and rewatching can feel like a hug from mom. And for anybody who hasn’t seen this TV show that goes behind the scenes of the production process of America’s favorite foods, you are in for a serious treat.

Chef’s Table

One of Netflix’s first original food shows, what makes Chef’s Table special is its ability to really draw out the artistry and beauty in food and cooking. The cinematography is absolutely top-notch, creating a mesmerizing final product.
