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! :)

I'm a bit obsessed with watching cooking shows on YouTube. Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order.

  • Anti-chef: Guy is on a journey to learn how to cook. Blew up when he started working through Julia Child's cookbooks. He also has a series where he is trying to make something from every country in the world.

  • Barry Lewis - British guy who tries a lot of Tiktok foods, hacks, and has compares ingredients based on price

  • Beryl Shereshewsky - cooks foods from around the world based on a shared theme/ingredient

  • Pasta Grammer - Italian woman teaches her American husband about traditional Italian foods

  • Claire Saffitz - incredible baker

  • Chef John - he's an excellent teacher

  • Sorted food - their older videos had a lot of battles and educational content. My favorite series they do is recipe relays.

  • J Kenji Lopez alt - I actually can't watch his channel because the POV makes me motion sick. However, he's a fantastic chef and you should watch him if the camera angle doesn't bother you.

  • Glen and friends cooking - he tries a lot of recipes from old community cookbooks

  • Tasting History with Max Miller - tries ancient recipes and teaches you the history of that food

  • Pro home cooks - I don't watch this channel as much anymore, but it used to be 2 brothers who taught viewers basic cooking techniques to throw together basic meals. Now it's run by just one of the brothers and he sometimes makes more complicated items, but still has a lot of simple recipes.

  • NYT Cooking - specifically the Mystery Menu series with Sohla and Ham. Won't necessarily teach you to cook but is fun to watch them come up with ridiculous seeming menus.

Tasting history is an amazing channel.
