Edible Food

             Barefoot Contessa, 30-minute meals, and Everyday Italian with Giada are just some of the most famous and talked about culinary shows around the globe. Culinary arts has become in-demand these days and media is always there to enhance and at the same time reverse things to the people.

The media has created an image of good food as “if it doesn’t look good, then it won’t taste good.”

              In these culinary shows, hosts are meant to look good and make the food they cook as impossible to create as possible. The food they make are supposed to attract all the people and encourage them to even buy their cooking books to think that if they do buy it, then they could also create the mirror image of the dish done on television. Media has made everything in reverse. They fixed an image on people’s minds. Even the kitchens used in these shows look great. They did not show the reality in cooking that most of the first times, you may fail. They did allow people to see the downsides of culinary and the things that they may encounter during the process like burns and imperfect presentations of the food.

                Although these things are already practiced, media has also restored and regained the power of food in people. They created ways to encourage people to be unique and creative when it comes to food and the process of eating it. Manners were developed and they thought of cooking as an activity worth wasting time on.

                 Media has given food, in general, a good image. There are a lot of people who are influenced by this and there are also people who are not convinced. Everyone has their own opinions and it is still up to us if we will believe or not.
