Buuuut! I did learn a few things on Beat Bobby Flay. The other night I made a top sirloin roast, and it came out tender and flaky - but not flavorful because the cut of meat has almost zero marbling. The cooks had a way of keeping flavor in it.

Back when Food Network came on the air, my Mother was one of their dedicated viewers, not that she needed to learn anything.

She'd watch, Rachel Ray, some guy named Tyler and a few others I can't remember and write down some of the recipes they'd each make so she could try them.

Doing her grocery run became an education.
