This is the perfect gift for foodies: hours of viewing pleasure
You probably know the feeling: there’s little more relaxing than sinking into the sofa with something delicious and a good cooking show. For foodies, Netflix is therefore a paradise. The streaming platform is packed with series where cooking, culture and a passion for flavour come together. Are you looking for a great gift for someone who always watches the latest cooking series in one sitting? With a Netflix subscription, you always have access to an endless supply of culinary inspiration, humour and mouth-watering images.
Looking over the shoulders of the greatest chefs
Anyone who likes spending time in the kitchen knows how much fun it is to learn from the best. The documentary series Chef’s Table literally lets you look over the shoulders of world-famous chefs. Each episode explores their personal story, motivations and views on flavour. It is a visual ode to gastronomy, with so much attention to detail that you can almost smell the aromas through the screen.
Chef’s Table series
Within this series, you’ll find several themed shows, each with its own character. There is Chef’s Table: BBQ for those who love fire, smoke and slow cooking. Or how about Chef’s Table: Pizza, for anyone who believes pizza is an art form; Chef’s Table: Noodles, which focuses on Asian cooking traditions, and Chef’s Table: France, which places classic haute cuisine in a new light.
The taste of… kitchen competition!
Those who prefer a little more excitement will enjoy Blue Ribbon Baking Championship. In this series, talented bakers compete for the coveted blue ribbons at local fairs across the US. No glamour or grand studios, just passion, tradition and lots of butter and sugar.
And then there’s Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, where culinary titans face off in spectacular cooking duels. An evening of watching competitions with something tasty on the table? The perfect combination.
Tasting the world from your living room
Not everyone has time to travel around the world, but with a Netflix subscription, you can easily recreate that feeling. The Street Food series bring local street food from different continents to life: from the bustling markets in Street Food: Asia, to the colourful dishes in Street Food: Latin America, and the authentic flavours of Street Food: USA.
Each series celebrates the people behind the food: their stories, dedication and love of flavour. The images are so vivid that you can almost smell the fried garlic and fresh herbs. Ideal to watch while you’re eating yourself – or as an appetiser for your next cooking evening.
Inspiration that stays with you
Series such as Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat show that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Charming presenter Samin Nosrat explains how four simple elements – salt, fat, acid and heat – make the difference between ordinary food and truly great food. After a few episodes, you’ll notice that you cook, taste and experiment more consciously.
A Netflix subscription is therefore more than just relaxation: it is a source of culinary inspiration that helps you discover new flavours, try out recipes and develop your own style.
The ultimate foodie evening
There’s something special about an evening when everything falls into place: you’ve cooked something delicious, the food tasted great, and afterwards you sink into the sofa with a lovely series full of culinary inspiration. A peaceful moment for yourself, with a touch of new ideas for the kitchen.
