El show cooking (o como se conoce en inglés, cooking show) es una modalidad de cocina que consiste en la preparación de platos frente a los comensales. Originariamente el término surgió con la preparación de recetas en un plató de televisión con una intención meramente lúdica. El programa de cocina de Karlos Arguiñano o MasterChef (España) son dos ejemplos de esta actividad en España. El concepto acoge más escenarios, realizándose en restaurantes y eventos particulares.

A cooking show or cooking programme is a television genre that presents food preparation in a kitchen studio set. Typically the show's host, often a celebrity chef, prepares one or more dishes over the course of an episode, taking the viewing audience through the food's inspiration, preparation, and stages of cooking. Such shows often portray an educational component, with the host teaching the viewers how to prepare different meals, but some (such as Chopped, Iron Chef or Junior MasterChef) are competitions that are primarily for entertainment. While rarely achieving top ratings, cooking shows have been a popular staple of daytime TV programming since the earliest days of television. They are generally very inexpensive to produce, making them an economically easy way for a TV station to fill a half-hour (or sometimes 60-minute) time slot. A number of cooking shows have run for many seasons, especially when they are sponsored by local TV stations or by public broadcasting. Many of the more popular cooking shows have had flamboyant hosts whose unique personalities have made them into celebrities. The cable TV channel Food Network has showcased many cooking shows.
