They can cook on screen …

Since private TV channels  are on the boom cooking show are a must feature on all of them. Youwill find every type of  personalities cooking in front of camera , with lots of oil ads  and  pretty anchors.

Shows like cooking with Chef Rahat , or Shai kicked the host out,   these ladies take live calls and cook too.From biryani to Pizza and cake to dal they have every recipe in their sleeve.

Guys are not behind  in this matter. We  are actually pleasantly surprised  to see Pakistan men, trying to cook and be good at it. It seems like a good trend for our  Nation where men  usually don`t get up to get their own glass of water. Chef Zakir, and Mehboob are the most popular among ladies.There this one new programme where they are focusing on desserts , which seems  very useful.

There are two whole  channels devoted to cooking by the name of “Masala Tv” and “Zauq”.After morning shows you will find chefs on every channel,  and on exclusively  devoted  to food channels too.

How ever there are two things  which are very  confusing… They do not  taste  what they cook, even their anchors do not try tasting after cooking  is done, which is very  unnatural. Is it some type of Desi conduct ? Code?  At the time of so much modrenity, it is hard to understand that they don’t show natural  behaviour.

Other thing is they take too much time in live cooking, one can use some things half ready and get on with a dish… but usually they  spend as much time on screen ,as they actually would do in  their  own kitchens. This is the luxury only TV in Pakistancan provide due to   high ratio of ads. You will see  kids acting like helpers too in  shows  on Wikkid.
