If you’re looking for a comfort cooking show that will have you hooked from the first episode, Netflix certainly delivers on that front, with an extensive menu for you to choose from. From leisurely home cooked recipes, to fast-paced baking competitions and the artistry of world-class professionals. You could be scrolling through your options for a good while before you finally settle on something. So, here’s our list of 5 of the best cooking shows on Netflix to have you looking through the top series from the get-go.
1. Nadiya’s Time to Eat (2019)
Great British Baking Show winner Nadiya Hussain gave us seven 30-minute episodes of Nadiya’s Time to Eat in 2019. The only let-down is that we didn’t get more. But the show’s still up and waiting for us Netflix-users to turn back to or start if you haven’t already – and really, you can’t skip this one. Nadiya gives us a series of healthy, mouth-watering dishes, perfect for time-strapped families. Her meals all incorporate delicious shortcuts for the home cooks watching who want to fit in meals between busy schedules. Her friendly, creative presence in the kitchen will leave you inspired to try out a recipe or two. If only to see for yourself if it all tastes as incredible as it looks.
2. Bake Squad (2021 – present)
Hosted by Christina Tosi, a popular author and baker on the culinary scene, Bake Squad is definitely a feel-good watch you can’t miss out on. It highlights the incredible talents of four unique and artistic bakers who make up the Squad – Maya-Camille Broussard, Ashley Holt, Gonzo Jimenez and Christophe Rull. Each episode features a new client who gives the team their dream. They bring it to life with great feats of cake and sugar. Their mouth-watering ideas take on challenges few others would dare to, with life-sized designs and cakes that appear to defy laws of physics. No ask is too much for the Bake Squad, and no out-of-the-box dessert is impossible.
