Cooking Program - Western vs Eastern

I love to cook and as much as that, I love to watch those cooking programs on the television! Off lately I got so inspired after watching this show and it makes me think about this! 

Western Cooking Show vs. Eastern Cooking Show

1. Western Cooking like Jamie Oliver or Martha Stewart and the list goes on is always that simple to follow! One thing I notice is that they are very casual! You end up getting really pumped up to cook after watching them, always thinking "Hey I can do that too" whereas for Chinese cooking show they are usually so dressy and the setting will always be at a studio instead of home based or simple kitchen, making us feel like we are just watching when we finished the whole 30 minutes cooking with who and who.
2. Chinese cooking show always have all the up to date weighing machines, baking, stirring equipment and the list goes on, making me feel like I need to shop more than I need to cook after watching but for those "ang-mohs" cooking shows, I always end up wanting to cook more and show hubby something that I have learn from it.
3. I love how simple the cutting the English cooking shows are! They don't mind about crude cutting of their potato or anything like that! We usually are never good cutters and my potatoes are cut this way and that way! Usually it is not so for the Chinese cooking series! Do you ever wonder how their potatoes, carrots and etc are all strip and cube in the same diameters? I wonder!
4. Tasting! Don't we do tasting when we cook? Well I love how the English cook usually just dip their spoon into the pot and done! The food is tasted! So here we go.... Now you know why I always feel really motivated when I finish watching a series! Plus with the knowledge you get from watching cooking shows are priceless! You learn new tricks and I just love them! So here we are doing extra cooking with newly acquire knowledge.
