The first time I saw it was when I had just started watching the
program. I didn't retain much of the information, so when it came on
again, I took notes.

I like learning about the details in cooking and how they affect
things. For example, there was a show about chocolate chip cookies,
and how changing the proportions of the ingredients would make a
cookie crispy or soft. I can't remember the 3rd option. But I thought
that was interesting. It wasn't just the cooking time.
