Yep. They should be making new episodes of food safari, destination flavour and find a new farmer for a new series of gourmet farmer. A local come dine with me would be great too. The endless cook up episodes are dull and cheap. Enough celebrity cooks food.
They have The Cook Up with Adam Liaw. And very little else. They also repeat it later in the night at 10.30pm.
It’s followed by The Cook and the Chef at 11pm. This has been repeated quite a lot in recent years, for a show that initially aired from 2006 until 2009 (on the ABC) As great, and simple, show it was, it needs to be less repeated.
