With so many new TV shows and movies streaming on Netflix, you shouldn't overlook a smaller category that has a ton to offer: food. The food shows available on Netflix range from visually stunning series about Michelin-starred restaurants to downright drool-inducing international food tours, plus plenty of educational, eye-opening shows, too. If your mind is on food all day every day and you'd rather be watching something about food (while eating food, naturally), these are the shows you'll want to add to your Netflix must-watch list.

Cooked
An educational show by Michael Pollan, famous journalist and author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Cooked captivates you from the start. The four-part series focuses on one natural element at a time — fire, water, air, and earth — to tell a fascinating story about where our food comes from and how it influences our world.

Compete to Eat
Compete to Eat is for people who love a good cooking competition show where the pressure is on and the clock is ticking. Two chefs, Aldo Lanzillotta and Jo Lusted, must compete to prepare three-course meals in other people's homes, where the cooks aren't exactly professionals and the resources are slim.

The Great British Baking Show
The Great British Baking Show is a BBC show that made its way to PBS and now Netflix, winning over countless Americans' hearts. Sort of like Masterchef (but focused on baking) and featuring incredibly kind contestants with charming British accents, it's the perfect show for people who love the art of a pastry competition.
