Today on Netflix the third season is coming out documentary series about world famous chefs “Chef’s Table”. This time our compatriot Vladimir Mukhin, chef of the Moscow restaurant White Rabbit, also got into it. The release of new series in itself is an event, both among industry professionals and gastroenthusiasts. The presence of Mukhin in it forced even those who were previously unaware of its existence to talk about the series. We found out from Moscow chefs what gastronomic programs they watch in their rare free moments, and we tell you what would be interesting to watch for those who are interested in cooking.

Chef's Table

A documentary show, each episode of which is dedicated to one world famous chef. One episode tells the story of becoming a professional - the result is mini-biopics filmed at the level of the best feature films. Creator David Gelb also produced the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about the owner of a tiny restaurant in Tokyo who devoted his entire life to making sushi.

Georgy Troyan

Chef of the Severyan restaurant

I've seen every episode of Chef's Table because it's beautiful. How might this affect the chef? Probably at the formation stage. I can imagine a child watching an episode about a great rock star chef and thinking: “So beautiful! So interesting! I’ll become a cook too!” Watching “Chef’s Table” for a professional chef is like watching a cool TV series. It’s interesting, but it can’t be particularly useful in life. You have to travel and try, do an internship, practice, learn languages, read - and all this every day or even every hour.You can watch the episode about why Massimo Botura became number one, but for me there is only one conclusion - because he worked hard and never stopped there.

My favorite story related to gastronomic films and TV series is the mockumentary “Documentary Now”. I'm talking about a series about a nasty, crazy old man living outside Bogota whose shop has three Michelin stars. Every day he cooks just rice with butter and chicken, a perfectly cut banana and coffee. It's so Nice picture and the story that you forget that there is no Michelin rating in South America no, no three stars are possible in such a shack, and in general, this is all a complete deception. If you haven’t watched this series, be sure to watch it - and you will understand that gastronomy has long been not only about taste, but about history and show.

Kristina Chernyakhovskaya

Chef at Iskra

When I was filming the culinary program “Two and a Half Chefs,” we were always watching something interesting to look for some new formats, study filming, what cameras were used to film. That is, in “Chef’s Table” I like not only what is said, but also the way it is filmed, because this is also a very important part. Everything was done brilliantly, superbly, with very good optics and good direction. The series will appeal not only to people who professionally deal with food, but also to those who are far from it, simply because it is done very well. I am very glad that our compatriot got there - I want to quickly see how they filmed all this in our reality.

I also can’t help but talk about the 2012 documentary “Spinning Plates”. It contains three stories about people who have their own restaurant. One of them is about a family that owned a restaurant in Iowa for about 150 years, and it burned down twice. Moreover, the concept is such that almost the entire city works in this establishment, and it opens at six in the morning - a truly important place for the city. One day the restaurant burns down and the whole town helps rebuild a new restaurant. But six months later it burns out again. The owners give up and don’t know what to do, since their credibility has been exhausted, but people come to the rescue again and rebuild the restaurant. Although this is a place with the most ordinary American food.

The second story from this film is about Grant Achatz, the chef of the Chicago restaurant Alinea with three Michelin stars, recognized as the best in the world in 2015. Achatz learns that he has stage four tongue cancer, and doctors in New York say he will need to have almost his entire tongue removed. He realizes that his career is over, despairs and goes to the last meal with his wife to try to taste the food during it. But his companion calls him back to his native Chicago and advises him to see doctors at the local institute. He goes to these guys who say: “Listen, we won’t cut anything. We can cure you this way,” and they actually cure him. At the stage of recovery, he just received his third Michelin star.

Cooked

Another good series, for which thanks to Netflix. Unlike Chef's Table, there are no professional chefs. The show's host, Michael Pollan, is a popular activist in America. healthy eating, who wrote the book “Omnivore’s Dilemma” about the theory of four ways to obtain human food. Each episode is dedicated to an element - for example, in "Fire" Pollan explores the evolution of cooking meat.

Kristina Chernyakhovskaya

Chef at Iskra

In Cooked, I was struck by a story that showed how Aboriginal people cooked meat since ancient times: how they stuck lizards in the ground and how long they cooked them. It struck me because this method of cooking at low temperatures is what we are all trying to achieve now and what the Aborigines recognized many years ago. It turns out to be truly delicious food cooked in coals in the ground.

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

A cult American series that has been running for ten years. Host Guy Fieri, who has three restaurants in California, travels across America in search of diners and eateries that serve interesting food. I managed to visit it great amount stars - for example, you can even find an episode with Matthew McConaughey.

Mikhail Shishlyannikov

Chef and owner of the Black Code gastro bistro

I have been passionate about cooking since childhood - it is my passion. I was always looking for new culinary knowledge myself, reading literature on the topic, but everything changed when one fine day I learned about the existence of a channel on cable television. There I came across a program that I periodically watch on the Internet when I need fresh culinary inspiration: “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.”

The action takes place in the USA. The development of the culinary tradition of this country was greatly influenced by a large number of different cultures, which are mixed here. Host Guy Fieri moves around the states in search of new, interesting, unusual operating catering establishments. These are mostly fast food establishments, but not in the usual sense. In our country, it is generally accepted that fast food is represented by large chain giants, where you can quickly have a snack after a couple of minutes of waiting. The program may include establishments where truckers eat, and this will be a diner that serves sandwiches with pastrami and fresh meat broth, the meat of which can be prepared for ten days, in accordance with traditional recipe. Or, for example, in another state there may be two eateries that have stood opposite each other for decades, and they serve sandwiches with crab meat caught that morning. Or you can also go to a cafe where in the backyard there is a smokehouse made by two brothers - the owners of the establishment, and in it you can simultaneously cook one hundred kilograms of meat.

In the episodes you can see brief cooking technologies, which cannot but please me as a person obsessed with cooking. All this is similar to a cooking video book where you can bookmark the recipe you like. Thanks to the transfer, I discovered the preparation of chicharron snack. Before that, I didn’t even know it existed. Chicharron is pork skin that is boiled in oil, then dried and then fried in oil again. At the final moment of cooking, the skin puffs up like popcorn and becomes like chips.

Hypebeast Eats

A section of the popular American men's website about modern fashion and streetwear Hypebeast. Three-minute videos about upscale meals in interesting restaurants (including those with Michelin stars) and about, for example, a simple cup of latte from a nice coffee shop. Each episode is dedicated to a specific place and menu item.

Fedor Tardatyan

I often watch different YouTube channels. It all depends on what topic I am currently passionate about. There is an interesting channel called American Hipster, which was recommended to me by my New York friends. Ten American cities are viewed through the prism of lifestyle: music, fashion, art and, of course, the most interesting for me - food. The second channel I watch regularly is Hypebeast Eats. Beautiful stories about interesting restaurants in America, interviews with their owners and spectacular filming. There are no boring or banal restaurants here. The creators of this channel make a very cool selection of places - you want to go to each of them.

I don't watch professional cooking shows, I find it boring. I watch the show for the mass audience, with the caveat that this viewer understands food and shares the style and presentation with which the programs are made. It often happens that after watching a video, I want to buy a ticket and fly to this region, appreciate the cuisine and traditions. So I went to New York to study burger culture, to Portland, Oregon, to see the hipster capital from the inside with their new take on cuisine, to Philadelphia to try the Philly steak sandwich and, of course, to Texas to learn barbecue. New Orleans is on the cards with tempting Gumbo soup.

How to Cook Like Heston

The transfer of the world famous British chef Heston Blumenthal, owner of The Fat Duck restaurant - one of four establishments in the UK that has three Michelin stars. In the program, he takes off his snow-white robe and shows how to prepare his signature dishes in the most ordinary home kitchen.

Stanislav Pesotsky

chef of the northern cuisine restaurant BJORN, best young chef of Russia 2016

Now I don’t have any favorite shows, because everything has its time. I used to watch a lot: “Hell’s Kitchen”, “MasterChef”, “How to Cook Like Heston” and some others in the original. This was about five to seven years ago during my formation as a chef. Now I watch much less often and only narrow-profile content. It’s difficult for me to single out just one program, because almost every one has something to gain for yourself. And it’s not just about gastronomy, but also about the organization of the process, management, equipment, and other people’s approach to their business. Each program, of course, has its own format, and if it is a show, then most often it is just that and there is nothing else behind it. Another thing is professional action. When I was watching a long time ago different gears, the realities in Russia were far from the realities of more gastronomically developed countries, so anyone would have noticed the difference between them. Now we are developing, becoming more and more professional. And in similar programs I am always primarily interested not in what, but in how.

BBQ with Franklin

An 11-episode web series by self-described barbecue nerd Aaron Franklin, in which he explains in detail all the steps to perfect barbecue. The author explains why even the type of wood is important when cooking, at what temperature it is correct to smoke meat, and why the way you cut an already cooked piece matters.

Fedor Tardatyan

co-owner of Brisket BBQ and Ferma Burger

A couple of years ago, I began to seriously study Texas BBQ and prepare to open our Brisket BBQ restaurant. Before we went to study in Austin, I watched a bunch of channels about barbecue. Of course, I couldn’t ignore the channel of Aaron Franklin, the king of Texas barbecue, whose Franklin BBQ restaurant has a daily line and a minimum wait time of three hours. By the way, this is the same guy who starred in the episode “” - there he sells his famous smoked brisket to the heroes. I was at Franklin BBQ in Texas and tried the standard Brisket that everyone looks up to. Even Gordon Ramsay praised this restaurant, and his word is worth a lot.

Hell's Kitchen

One of the most popular culinary reality shows led by the British monster of both cooking and character, Gordon Ramsay, about whose temperament everyone has heard. Participants compete for the position of chef at a famous restaurant. On this moment 16 seasons have already been released. Two seasons of Hell's Kitchen were also filmed in Russia, in which Probka Family creator Aram Mnatsakanov acted as chef instead of Ramsay.

MasterChef

Another no less popular show, which was invented in the UK back in 1990 and is currently filmed as a franchise in forty countries around the world. Original version MasterChef is not much different from Hell's Kitchen, but the brand has grown to include MasterChef: The Professionals for professional chefs, Celebrity MasterChef with celebrities and Junior MasterChef for children.

Culinary magic has reached incredible heights: its most prominent representatives work real miracles. It’s easy to see this if you look at their work on television with your own eyes. Kitchen wizards in their programs convey so much useful knowledge and make so many culinary discoveries that housewives are literally trembling in anticipation of the next episode.

"It's All Food" with Gordon Ramsay"

This television cooking show, having barely appeared on British television in 2005, immediately caused a storm of delight among millions of women.

All events take place in his restaurant, where Lately Only professional chefs gather. And they prepare every new dish with the whole world under the close attention and participation of Gordon himself.

For example, he simply loves to raise sheep and calves on his own farm, and then (let the hearts of vegetarians not tremble with pity!) prepare various delicacies from the meat of these domestic animals. By the way, Ramsay is somewhat skeptical about vegetarianism and believes that its representatives are depriving themselves of many of the pleasures of life. The magician of world cuisine often arranges live culinary duels with celebrity guests.

For example, such as scallop tartare with creme fraiche and caviar, served in a chilled basil consommé. According to Gordon Ramsay, he draws all his culinary creativity from family lunches and dinners, when his wife Tana and children gather around the table.

"Kitchen without kitchen"

“Three in one kitchen, including the impenetrable jungle” - this is sometimes the name of the TV show “Kitchen Without a Kitchen”, the main hosts and participants of which are three Americans, famous for their culinary skills. One day, Madison Cowan, Kane Raymond and Michael Psilakis got tired of putting on shows in ordinary restaurants, and they went into the wild, visiting wild tribes, to show off their remarkable talents. The kitchen wizards set themselves the task of, figuratively speaking, cooking porridge from an axe. Catching fish, preparing game, finding edible roots as a seasoning, finding water suitable for cooking - all these worries fell on the shoulders of cooks spoiled by civilization. And they did not flinch in the face of difficulties, as millions of television viewers watching the work of famous chefs on air could see. Of course, three famous chefs could not be like ancient man, who knew only one dish - meat fried over a fire. Therefore, from what the wild nature provides, Cowan, Raymond and Psilakis acquired the most necessary and useful things.

And it must be said that famous chefs taught a lesson on how you can survive in the jungle by eating healthy and tasty food, without at all changing your civilized habits.

In his characteristic funny manner, he talks about many secrets of his kitchen that we had not previously suspected. According to the culinary genius, his wife Jules inspires him to creative feats. He believes that if the woman he loves can cope with the fantastic recipes of the royal chef, then any housewife can do it. Note that within half an hour, Jamie Oliver's chef will be able to prepare any dish, perfectly serving it and decorating it with herbs.

Note that lunch in 30 minutes under the supervision of Jamie himself always turns out fast and tasty. Moreover, the quality of each dish is excellent.

"Baker Brothers: A Taste of Britain"

The Baker Brothers: A Taste of Britain is a cooking TV show by brothers Tom and Henry Herbert that is extremely popular with millions of housewives. They are famous for their confectionery products, which amaze not only with their extraordinary taste, but also with their magnificent appearance. The brothers know how to create real miracles in the kitchen, in front of amazed spectators. They were born in south-west England, where it had long been a tradition to bake “tallow cake”. This pastry is also called caramel cake, which is prepared using lard. The impressions of “delicious childhood” were so strong that Henry and Tom devoted their entire lives to the art of cooking. Every TV show featuring famous brothers– this is a real culinary discovery. For example, Henry, one of the best pastry chefs in Britain, can make a cake without flour, using only sugar, chocolate, butter and eggs. Tom is not far behind him, also able to surprise the most capricious gourmets with unusual croissants. And it should be noted that the spirit of improvisation always reigns in the television kitchen of the Herbert brothers. This atmosphere has a magical effect on housewives, who will soon prepare such baked goods that you will lick your fingers.

"My Kitchen Rules"

The appearance of this television cooking show in the country of kangaroos caused a storm of delight among Australians. And the best chefs from every state were eager to get on the program “My Kitchen Rules”, where its hosts Pete Evans and Manu Findel staged real battles for the best and original dishes. A quarter of a million dollars at stake in this unusual competition only spurred on the competitors. After all, each team wanted to leave the television kitchen with a victory and a solid financial prize in their hands, adding to their weight in the culinary world, and glorifying their professional name. The judges also added fuel to the fire of the television duel in the kitchen. It seems that they found fault with its participants too much: they didn’t like appearance some chef was also irritated by his manipulations in setting the table. In general, the requirements for competitors were almost draconian. By the way, spectators were often indignant at these conditions when, figuratively speaking, their favorite team was suddenly removed from the competition in the heat of the moment. However, everyone admitted (both the stern jury and the fans) that the winners of the culinary duel turned out to be a real miracle. Each prepared dish could be called a masterpiece of taste, as eloquently evidenced by the faces of the tasters.

"Being Serge Markovic"

“Being Serge Markovic” is a cooking TV show that is especially admired by women. Housewives' hearts literally skip a beat when this charming Serb appears on air in the kitchen.

“King of Pastry Chefs” is a creative show by Buddy Valastro, a true culinary magician. When he, at the head of the family clan (mother, four older sisters and three brothers-in-law), gets down to business, the most skillful wizard takes off his hat to him. This exciting series in the television kitchen will not leave anyone indifferent. For example, a huge cake depicting a hockey battle with chocolate figurines of players, or a car made of sweets amazes our imagination. And it’s even a little scary to taste any piece of this work of culinary art. According to Buddy Balastro, he has made more than a hundred thousand cakes in his entire life. And the magician of culinary baking never repeated himself: each product was special, made in a flight of creative thought, with a great desire to please people.

Many sites with recipes and tips are easy to find on the Internet, and thousands of culinary magazines and books are published monthly. But, as a rule, the latter lie on supermarket shelves awaiting disposal. Modern society for the most part, downplays the importance of cooking at home, but this is relaxation, an opportunity to develop a child, and a way to get closer to one another. In addition, homemade food, pastries, and cocktails cannot be compared to any dish from any cafe.

Culinary art is akin to magic. It’s like I’m casting a spell, choosing ingredients, mixing them, chopping them, brewing them, infusing them, seasoning them with spices according to recipes from ancient cookbooks.

Joanne Harris, "Chocolate"

Everyone has those moments when they are not in the mood to cook at all. You can eat fast food for several days in a row, and then suffer from. In addition, you must admit that it is more pleasant to eat dishes when you know what ingredients they are made from.

Why we decided to choose British shows

Did you know that English cuisine is one of the most unpretentious? Most of the recipes are ridiculously simple. The main difference between this cuisine is that from time immemorial the emphasis has been on the quality of products. You can buy eggs in the supermarket and fry them, or you can buy homemade ones at the market and do the same. Which option do you think will be more nutritious and tasty? Of course, the second one.

What can we say about the reputation of England itself? Branded humor, worthy ruler, The Beatles, famous actors and writers...

Actually, that’s why I would like to suggest you take a few cooking lessons from British chefs and amateurs.
