looking for recommendations focused on cooking (or possibly baking)

 I don't think this is entirely niche however I adore cooking in tv and have been an avid watcher of shows such as chefs table. I am predominately looking for aesthetically pleasing cooking sequences eg. little forest

I haven't watched that many dramas so I'm hoping to find some that fit this category 

(films are also welcome)

The Let's Eat series have a lot of food scenes hence the name

The Perfect Match

  • the last recipe (movie)
  • chocolate (drama currently airing)
  • temperature of love  
  • my lovely sam soon
  • king of baking, kim tak goo

I started chocolate earlier today as the premise seemed right up my alley! (great suggestion)

  • Flower Boy Ramyun Shop
  • Pasta
  • Feast of the Gods
  • The Perfect Match

Movie:

  • Little forest - Japanese and Korean versiin

I adore little forest its such a lovely and serene movie!

I'll have a look at the others, thank you for all the recommendations. Looks like I'm going to be watching only cooking films and dramas for the foreseeable future

I very made a list. I ranked the dramas according to how many actual cooking scenes there was and how important food/cooking/baking is for the plot.

https://mydramalist.com/list/O3odmDn4 

For example in Antique there are many cakes in every episode, and the main character in Bambino spends a lot of time in the kitchen. Oishii Kankei on the other hand was disappointing because although there were a lot of scenes from a restaurant, it was very little cooking and they always talked about the same soup. And even though Sam Soon is a pastry chef, the drama is very little about baking.

Thank you for your suggestions,  I'll definitely check your list out. I love your ranking system, it might help inform what to watch first.
