Ran across this PBS series a couple days ago. As I watch it on
broadband streaming (Roku), it comes off as 2-10 min clips, then
points to it's website for details/recipe:

http://www.chefsteps.com/

.....which I pretty much ignore, as it has so many client-side scripts,
it's easier to jes find the U2B entry. Agreed, there's a lotta
silliness, but some of the recipes are pretty innovative. I
particularly like the smoked brisket made indoors in a regular oven,
but don't know if I can afford a whole brisket. I'm definitely gonna
try the bourbon/pecan pie made with a pte brisée crust.

.....I may sneak up on it, though, as I don't wanna commit that much
material to one pie until I've tested it out ona smaller 9" pie
shell.

In case you didn't notice, ChefSteps adores sous vide. Any
suggestions on a sub-fortune sous vide heater/circulator?

I admit it's faaaaaar better than all the other cooking-competition
shows on the box. However, I have a book by Hollywood and it doesn't
give me much confidence in him as a baker and it colours his criticisms
for me.

I've watched a few episodes of "The Great British Bake Off"
and find it quite entertaining. I'm not a baker so readily
admit I'd never heard of the male judge. The older woman
judge, who's name escapes me, I have seen her on PBS and
even on The Cooking Channel.

Mary Berry is a "British Institution". A highly respected cookery author
and journalist. She was so before Delia appeared on the scene.

I really dislike the bloke. He puts me right off the show.
