Cooking Shows

I'm laying on my couch now, watching Rachael Ray and Gordon Ramsay babble about pork chops and "simple" ways to prepare them.
Not only do I get hungry when watching these cooking shows, I also feel this urge to get off my lazy ass and go cook something. On occasion, I actually do this (to the shock and awe of my family): the Oreo cheese cake, yummy salmon salad, and spinach fritata.
Now, I want to learn more about cooking: the science of it, how different ingredients relate to each other. The fact that I'm reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals", written by Michael Pollan, has just spiked my food information interests even further.
Even while reading this book, I find myself craving more information: how and why humans began to cook their food, why most cultures have a 3-meals per day fixture, why we eat the meals we do, and many others.
I guess I'll blog these answers when I find them. I mean, I can't be the only one wondering this!
