Cool YouTube cooking channels?

So I moved out recently and discovered I pretty much only know how to prepare scrambled eggs and smoothies.

I’ve been trying to find cool cooking resources online, but most feel like are just either clickbait or advertising me a lot of garbage (that vibe reminds me of toxic fitness channels).

Any good resources you guys may know? It doesn’t necessarily have to be YouTube channels, extra points if it has beginner level recipes, easily findable ingredients or it’s funny to follow. Thanks! :)

Thassodar,

Brian Langerstrom has a wide variety of recipes and I feel like he tests them enough only to put out the best:

Also love Smoking and Grilling with AB. He says himself he’s trying to “demystify” cooking. Delicious recipes that build on flavors, I’ve made a few and they come just as he tells you:

Lastly, but not my least favorite, Ethan Chlebowski. When he gets real technical about the best ingredients it’s very informative:

Si1versmith,

I want to promote Ann Reardon from her How to Cook That channel.

She doesn’t typically do recipes, but goes into things like the chemistry and about what’s happening when you deal with certain recipe combinations. She also debunks cooking videos and “hacks” regularly, while also educating on potential safety issues. Example was the flash boiling liquids you can do in a microwave and wood burning risks (although that was not necessarily cooking related).

geoh,

Nat’s What I Reckon if you want a sweary Australian delivering recipes with a good amount of comedy!

asteriskeverything,

I came here to suggest this! He certainly made me feel like cooking isn’t as complicated as I imagine. His early videos are short and entertaining I suggest checking it out regardless carbonara sauce

I just so happen to have a good friend that has been working on his own cooking show for years. It’s definitely a passion project of his and I’d love it for him to get more exposure. Caveman Cooking is the name and it’s definitely worth checking out!

shanjezi,

A lot of great recommendations in here. One I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Molly Baz

chunkystyles,

Glen and Friends youtube.com/

It’s not nearly as popular as many of the others mentioned. He’s been doing this for a long time, and his recipes are all over the place. He has a couple different series of videos. For instance one is about making cocktails, and my favorite is the old cookbook show.

Glen has an insane collection of old cookbooks and is really knowledgeable about the history of cooking. He offers information you can’t find anywhere else.

He also often does “method” recipes. He likes to say this a ton, “it’s not a recipe, it’s a method.” What he means is that while you can follow his recipe directly, you can use different ingredients as long as you follow the method. He does a lot of “pantry cleaning recipes” like this and it’s all about just using what you have to make something which is an incredibly useful skill to learn and practice.

Maangchi for korean food.

Cooking with a dog, Nats what I reckon are both fun to watch and easy to follow

ojmcelderry,

One really practical way to learn some new recipes is to use a recipe box service like HelloFresh or Gousto.

They deliver a box with all the required ingredients and easy to follow recipe cards.

For anything that you make & enjoy, you can keep the recipe card and cook it again using store bought ingredients.

These recipe boxes regularly have deals and promotions (e.g. 60% off, refer a friend, etc.) so it doesn’t have to be too expensive.

Or if you don’t want to order one at all, it’s worth knowing that HelloFresh make all their recipes available online for free. So you can download and print off any that you like the sound of, without ever even ordering one of their boxes.

cyberpunk007,

Not sure why someone down voted you but this is an excellent tip
