Food and Netflix are two of our favorite things; both are pleasurable ways to spend a good time, even to de-stress, sometimes to learn, and the second has almost become a basic necessity, just like the first.

Moreover, food-related series and documentaries are a great entertainment option, and the new proposals from streaming channels like Netflix captivate you, even when you fear watching them because they make you extremely hungry.

If you feel like you’ve already gone through the entire catalog and have nothing left to watch, we propose these 11 delicious series and documentaries (some of which we had recommended here), that you won’t be able to stop consuming.
