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! :)

Kenji Lopez-Alt

The GoPro format is great, you can see what he does with his hands and you see all of the cooking, with practically zero cuts in the video. All the while he explains why he's doing the things you see.

Kenji is just on another level, can't recommend him enough. His books are great as well.

I like his science-sy, no bullshit approach to cooking and find it very refreshing. He explains almost everything he's doing as well as how and why he's doing something in a particular way and has fantastic recipes and techniques.
