For years, cooking shows have been the heyday of TV channels around the world and their success has not diminished. They entertain, mouth water and whet the appetite. On the other hand, it seems that they do not make the viewers who watch them want to cook so much. In any case, this is what a recent British study revealed.
There's no shortage of cooking shows in the UK:The Great British Bake Off (The best pastry chef ), Masterchef , Come Dine With me (An almost perfect dinner ) and more. So inevitably, the Brits gradually became die-hard fans. And they don't just watch cooking on TV, they also spend a lot of time on blogs and social media devoted to the discipline. But that doesn't mean they're trying to improve their cooking skills:they spend an average of 5 hours a week consuming food media and only 4 hours cooking.
To reach these conclusions, 2,000 people were interviewed by the Lirpak butter brand, which initiated the survey. More than half of them said they would rather watch the preparation of a dish on TV and beautiful pictures of meals online than cook themselves. The reasons given are mainly the lack of time and the feeling that the recipes presented are too complicated to reproduce.
But nothing is definitive, and motivation could soon take over:56% of respondents say they want to cook more of the recipes they see online.
