From food tours to documentaries about chefs, there's no shortage of first-class series about food.

But Bake Off: The Professionals quickly proved itself as being a fantastic show in its own right. While we may, admittedly, be stretching the definition of a cooking show here – Tucci’s Searching for Italy is much more of an eating show – it had to be included on the list. What’s so astonishing about the series is the range of first-class chefs that Netflix were able to feature. Chef and food-writer Samin Nosrat’s theory is that the four elements you need to make delicious food are salt, fat, acid and heat. In this spin-off Netflix show she takes her theory out into the world, with each episode dedicated to a different element. The series was so popular that it ran for a massive 12 seasons, in which Bourdain went everywhere from Libya to Congo, Tokyo to Russia and Thailand to Jamaica. Our favourite episode of the show is about Jeong Kwan, a Seon Buddhist nun who makes exquisite food. The standards are impossibly high and the judges – particularly Wareing – can be quite harsh, which makes it all the better when the competing chefs are praised. This incredible cooking series from Netflix, which is now in its eighth series, focuses on different top chefs from around the world. At the end of the show, Schwimmer said: “What a lovely, lovely thing to do. Stanley Tucci has come into his own over the last couple of years – it’s no exaggeration to say that his cocktail videos were one of the highlights of our lockdown. “I’m here to have fun and raise money for a great charity.
