9 Fox Life India Shows That Should Be On Every Foodie’s Watch-list

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UDelhi chapter.

If you love food, chances are that you would love watching food related shows. I can relate to this because I am myself addicted to food shows.  From Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khana Khazana to MasterChef Australia, I can literally watch these shows for hours without any guilt.

Fox Life India (formerly called Fox Traveller) is one of my absolute favorite channel. Owned by Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox Life telecasts shows in the genre of food, travel and lifestyle. Here are some of my picks from the channel that every food lover should definitely watch.

1. Food Safari

Hosted by Maeve O’Meara, Food Safari is an Australian food series first screened on SBS TV Australia. Maeve, in every episode, travels different parts of the world, exploring different cuisines and cultures. Each episode begins with an introduction to key ingredients, spices, vegetables and fruits available and continues with the preparation of popular dishes and desserts.

The recent series Food Safari Fire covers cooking with fire in different cuisines of the world. From Tandoori chicken to Jamaican Jerk, this show is surely going to make your mouth watery.

Watch all seasons of Food Safari.

2. David Rocco’s Dolce Series

Celebrity-chef and best-selling author, David Rocco produced and hosted the television series, David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, where he travels through Italy. His another show David Rocco’s Dolce India is based in India and has received international success on National Geographic Network.

The idea behind these two shows is to live in the city and countryside of both these countries and show the varied culture and cuisine. In Dolce India, Rocco creates fusion of Indian and Italian dishes.

Once you watch Sugar Stars, it’ll be hard to resist all the sugary goodness in the form of sugar cookie french fries, edible lipsticks and an overflowing pot of pasta.

4. Eat Street

It’s hard to control our taste buds when it comes to street food. From the chatpate gol-gappas to classic hot dogs, we all love street food. And, that is why Eat Street is a must-watch.
