Cooking online learning, Celebrity chefs, TV shows and Internet change how we cook

when one wants to find a new recipe these days, just go online. 

Today’s economy and dwindling advertising revenue were at work against Gourmet, but the bigger picture is that the food world has changed. People s who love to cook now have a dizzying array of choices when they’re looking for information and recipes. They can search online, watch cooking shows, flip through personality-driven magazines, read food blogs.

It’s a world of celebrity chefs, social networking and recipe cyber-swapping, specialized niche websites and blogs, ingredients of all sorts easily ordered online.

Television has been one of the most powerful forces in this new world, rocketing to stardom such cooking gurus as Rachael Ray, Sandra Lee, Paula Deen, Christopher Kimball, Bobby Flay and Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss.

“The Food Network is like MTV was in the ’80s,” says Lee, host of Sandra’s Money Saving Meals and Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee.

Just good eating.
The TV chefs and their shows have distinct personalities that appeal to their particular fans.

For instance, Ray, bubbly host of the Food Network’s 30 Minute Meals With Rachael Ray and editorial director of her own magazine, Every Day With Rachael Ray, says she believes fans of her cooking show are attracted to it because of its accessibility and her “can do” attitude.

“For someone like me who loves to eat food, prepare food, read about food and talk about food,” she says, “it’s great to have so many resources right at my fingertips.”
