Ever wanted to actually cook while watching a coooking show? The way they’re set up, you can either tape them and copy down the recipe for later, or miss crucial steps. I suggest a new type of show, the prototype of which will be called “Cook Along With Iain”. This could actually work if Iain Hewitson was interested.

Details:

It’s all live or at least in real time, at around 5:30 pm.

The ingredients are announced at least a day before (in yesterday’s credits), maybe much earlier (on the show’s website).

Boring stuff like peeling potatoes will be done beforehand and listed in the ingredients.

You cook along with the host/chef, who’ll be making a meal at a pace most of us could follow.

Wouldn’t that work really well? If you’re a TV exec. who likes the sound of it, go for it and give me a line in the credits.
