So it is perhaps no surprise that a growing number of people are sharing recipes inspired by TV shows and films on social media, either to challenge their cooking skills or enhance the viewing experience.
Search for the omelette on TikTok and there are hundreds of videos racking up millions of views from people seeking to recreate the nouvelle cuisine spin featured on The Bear, a show that has prompted renewed interest in kitchen culture.
Jonny Marsh, a private chef, has had 81,000 views for his version of the omelette, which he posted as a riposte to the "cheffy culture" of making them soft and raw rather than firmer and cooked.
"When I saw it on the actual show I thought that's a bit weird putting crisps on an omelette because that isn't classical. I decided to have a bit of a bash at it.
It's that thing of when you watch a football game and see a player do a trick, and you're like 'Are we going to the park later, lads?," he said.
Marsh has previously taken inspiration for private dinner parties he caters for from the Chef's Table TV show as well as the 2007 animation Ratatouille, which he says appeal because they "look fantastic".
Brands are also cashing in, including Heinz, which has released a Godfather pasta sauce, and the meal box company Gousto, which offers meals "inspired" by films, the most faithful of which is a Lady and the Tramp-style meatball spaghetti.
