The Best Four Netflix Baking Shows

Hey everyone! I just recently finished Chef's Table: France and I thought why not share the baking shows I love to watch on Netflix. Further ado, here are my current list for baking shows that I recommend to watch:

1. chef's Table : France

This was my absolutely favorite cooking/baking show to watch because it follows several French cooks and the background on how they started their restaurant and why their restaurant stands out against the rest. My favorite chef that was on this special was Alain Passard. Passard is a farm to table cook and his passion for fresh ingredients was invigorating to watch.  

For me personally, Passard inspired me so much as a homemade baker because I love using foods from my garden and creating a masterpiece with what is in season. I love how he describes food and his absolute love of cooking is affectionate- especially his old-school bread making. Alain Passard currently has a three Michelin Star restaurant, L'Arpege in Paris, France. I wouldn't mind going there next time I am in Paris.

​2. The great british baking show
​

​If you love anything British, humorous and amateur baking, this show is for you. This show is a competition between 12 amateur British bakers to see who comes out on top. It is composed of 10 episodes and the competition comes to close once there are only 3 bakers left for the finals. The finals consist of three rounds and the best baker of these rounds win the covenant Star Baker. Although amateur, these bakers create some magnificent sweets and treats. 

The judges to the candidates are all lovable and you learn many British and French recipes from this show. They even have spin-offs where the judges show the viewers how to do the correct methods and procedures for the dessert. Then your able to kind of watch and do it yourself.

The best part, in my opinion though, is to see how the top bakers emerge and grow from this experience. Many of them write cookbooks, host podcasts and go into baking professionally. It's pretty cool and inspiring.

3. sugar rush

​If you're into professional baking, this show might be for you. Sugar Rush is another competition show judged by Chef Adriano Zumbo. There are four teams and the show consist of three rounds and in each round someone gets eliminated. The last round determines the winner. For this show, there are no steps given for the treats the bakers make and there are no recipes. Therefore, for this show, I think it teaches great taste profiles for the treats the bakers make, so I recommend trying some of the different taste profiles that are used . For example, one of the bakers sprinkled citric acid on their cupcake and it was used as a taste factor.

4. nailed it

​If you haven't heard of this show, I'm already disappointed. Nailed IT is literally one of the funniest shows on Netflix. The show is a baking competition consisted of terrible bakers that are trying to win ten thousand dollars. I don't think I've seen so many raw cakes in my life. Not only are the bakers terrible, the host, Nicole Byer, brings great comedic relief to the tense show. She is always encouraging, but just kind of laughs at everyone attempt. The chef host, Jacques Torres, brings the baking experience to the show and helps the bakers if they have any questions. Watch it! Laugh! 

I hope you enjoy these shows and comment below your thoughts or if there are any shows you want me to add. 

Thank you for reading!
