Now to bring the focus to these two: Food porn & Home Cooking.

Look into theory:

• Food as a spectacle (Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle)
• Cooking as a defining factor of human culture. (Richard Wrangham, Catching Fire)
• Decline of home cooking in relation to decline of culture. (Krishnendu Ray, Domesticating Cuisine: Food and Aesthetics on American Television)
• Domesticity on display. (Roland Barthes, Mythologies)
• Realm of irreality, unattainability—alienation from community. (Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation)

On target audience:

• Age & gender.
• How many cook at home?
• Do they engage in food spectacles? (defined as? Wiki:a glamorized spectacular visual presentation of cooking or eating in advertisements, infomercials, cooking shows or other visual media.)
• What is considered 'from-scratch cooking'/'real home cooking' when we are surrounded by many 'ready mades' in the modern food environment?
• Do they visit farmers/vegetable markets?
