Like many reality TV genres that have come before it, competitive cooking shows have been milked for all their worth.
We’re officially sick of watching extremely talented ‘amateur’ chefs cook up impossibly complex dishes for a judging panel of corny middle-aged dudes to dig into and then wait a full ominous minute before revealing that they like it.

So, next month Netflix is bringing something new to the table.
Cooking on High is another iteration of the competitive cooking show, but all dishes must feature one key ingredient: weed.
What could go wrong?
Just kidding! We have total confidence that this show will be a very serious cooking competition and definitely not derail into giggles and shower thoughts as the bake-off progresses.
Netflix has recently ventured into the post-cooking show cooking show genre with their hit series Nailed It – where the contestants are terrible, their finished work is a disaster and the whole thing is so bizarre it can only be taking the piss out of itself.

Cooking on High similarly promises something a little spicier and more relatable than the stuck-up cooking content that we’ve grown tired of.
Netflix tags the show with the jovial descriptors ‘Offbeat’ and ‘Goofy’, and I think we all know what to expect.
The new series will be hosted by comedian and YouTube star Josh Leyva and the show’s resident “culinary weed expert” will be fellow comedian and noted cannabis activist Ngaio Bealum.
Looking forward to watching the judges try to keep it together for the full length of an episode. Will they rate the high as well as the integration of those key kush flavour notes?
Pretty much.
And more importantly, will they reach the glorious heights of cannabis cuisine’s current finest product: the clip for Joyride’s ‘Aunty Tracey’s Cookies’, featuring a truly mouthwatering Mary Jane-inspired feast courtesy of ACME restaurant’s Mitch Orr.
Cooking on High comes to Netflix on June 22 so prepare to be truly inspired.
