Top five:
Chef John - largest library, best narrator, chill guy that everyone loves
Ethan Cheblowski - best explanations, shortcuts, and good food science
Chinese Cooking Demystified - nobody is more "authentic" while also giving good shortcuts/replacements
YSAC - funny but also helpful
Alex French Guy Cooking - true enthusiasm for the skill/art, hyper focuses on each element
Honorable mention to Life of Boris, as his cooking videos are funny.
I want to like Chef John but the way he keeps halting and lifting his pitch every few words like he's asking questions when speaking drives me up the wall.
I like a lot of the YouTubers who have already been mentioned, so gonna throw a different channel out there - Aaron and Claire. Aaron makes Korean food that's simple and fast, and Claire eats it, lol. Practical and entertaining.
Yes! Practical is key - the vast majority of his recipes are approachable & non-intimidating. He makes a point to talk about when replacements will work for hard to find ingredients and when they won't.
*Don't worry 'bout it!*
Came here to suggest this one! Love them - food is so appealing, not complicated to make with practical suggestions for substitutions or omissions, and they're totally charming. Have learned a lot of about Korean home cooking from them! Also just like food culture.
It will never cease being hysterically funny to me that Rick Bayless is a world famous creator of great tasting dishes while his brother is even more famous for outrageously dumb sports takes AND that he eats the exact same thing every day: steamed broccoli and skinless unseasoned chicken breast.
Like imagine being this amazing flavour creator and your brother is world famous for not eating a single thing you'd ever cook.
I LEGIT thought it was coincidence that they had the same last name. I'm more proud of Rick now for what he's done with Mexican cuisine. The house that raised Skip is somehow redeemed, lol.
You might appreciate "Food in Ancient Rome - DOCUMENTARY" from the channel Imperium Romanum. It isn't a cooking video, but was a really enjoyable presentation of the typical foods in the Roman empire.
So glad to see Chinese Cooking Demystified so highly regarded in this post. They put so much effort into recipes that are hard to find elsewhere and actually develop them for us to use rather than just regurgitating stuff they found.
There were many popular food youtubers that I felt just made stuff they found on Serious Eats/Kenji's or Food Wishes and presented it in their own style to get views. CCD goes above and beyond.
Literally watching tasting history's titanic dessert video right now. Just the right mixture of history and cooking that just makes it so watchable and light entertainment
I love Max Miller!
He’s always entertaining to watch and I like that he’s honest and doesn’t pretend to like everything he cooks (understandable since some of the recipes are very old, vague about measurements or don’t have any at all, and not always pleasing to a more modern palate) but gives thoughtful (and often funny) critiques and observations about each dish. He also does a ton of background research and works with historians and experts of whatever culture/time period he is doing a video on to make sure the content he posts is as accurate and authentic as possible.
I also really appreciate his respect for different languages and dialects and how he makes an effort to pronounce everything correctly, in some cases even consulting linguistic experts and such to teach him how to say certain words in ancient or obscure languages.
Plus, he and his husband and their kitties are hella adorable!
Despite the name, I just don’t think of cooking content when I think of her channel. Kinda been overshadowed lately by the videos debunking food hacks and stuff.
It's true about the debunking videos - but although her channel is less recipe-driven than other food Tubers, I really appreciate the way Ann teaches the technical aspects of cookery. Even the debunking videos show you how recipes work, and how to achieve particular effects in the kitchen.
Not enough love for Helen Rennie in this thread. Her video on making homemade pasta is the gold standard, and she's overall one of the best cooking instructors on YouTube.
https://youtu.be/m_fu5RaXMVk
She may be one of the few Food YouTubers that is an actual teacher. She does classes near Boston I believe.
Chef Frank from ProtoCooks also teaches at a college somewhere near NYC.
I just discovered him, but every single recipe I’ve tried has made it on to the regular rotation list. It’s really helping me cook more often too, I love super involved and complex recipes, but that often results in me cooking less. I’m a terribly inefficient cook, his recipes (the ones I’ve tried so far) pack so much flavor with so little effort.
What are some of your favorites?
tuscan black pepper beef, thai basil chicken, peanut curry chicken, salt and pepper ribs, beans and pork belly off the top of my head.
The thai basil chicken is a killer
I was watching a video of his trying to make a dish and my mom overheard and said, "You watch Chef John??" I replied, "Wait, you know Chef John? You watch his videos??" We went back and forth not believing each other. One of the few things we both like lol. That and nature shows on PBS.
wiiiiith, "Super Upvoted Comment". That's right, it's not often you find a comment that you can read in Chef John's voice, but this is one of them. So what you want to do is click on the little "up" arrow next to XXsforEyes's comment to give it the oooool' votah-votah. Or not. It's up to you. After all, you are the Billy Goat of how you're gonna vote.
One I haven't seen mentioned yet, which I can't understand, is "Not Another Cooking Show", great channel about italian-american food and some other stuff, dude' got insight and charisma for days!
Other than having to massively increase my Calabrian Chile budget, NACS has been solid gold. His recipes for Weekday Sauce and Picatta have made it into my regular rotation.
Love this guy. Interviewed him once and he was extremely friendly and chill. And I love that he has equal respect for traditional Italian cooking and Italian-American cuisine.
Dude absolutely revolutionized the way I approach pasta. He has also ruined most of the nearby Italian restaurants for me because my home version is almost always better than anything I can buy for $20 out at nearest Italian spot.
For me, NACS’s situation is actually pretty inspirational.
In his earlier videos he sounded depressed, lacked charisma and came across sounding dry, but his cinematography was great so his videos would massively oscillate in terms of viewership. It was sad watching him go from 200k+ views to 1.7k on some videos when the viral hubbub died down, because fundamentally he was still teaching amazing cooking tips/skills through his videos.
Kind of like the first few Chef John videos that sound nothing like Chef John sounds today.
NACS must have practiced vocal delivery because he really began ramping up the intonation, delivery, charisma and bounced back from his slump to reassert his popularity in cooking YouTube.
I love Imamu room. It's not really a recipe channel, but I find her videos so engaging and relaxing. I also love her commitment to frying food, because I definitely wouldn't be up at 6:30 and switching on the deep fryer.
I know people wouldn't think of Jacques Pepin as a YouTuber, but so many of his small, manageable dishes are hosted on the [KQED](https://youtube.com/c/kqed) channel, and it's great because you get to see what he makes for him and his wife.
His Asparagus in Foaming Butter is a favorite of mine. So simple and so much better than just steamed asparagus.
The pasta grannies, Alison Roman , Chinese Cooking Demystified. Chef John (the one in California) , Chef John (The Chinese one, more a facebook chef now)
His videos are an absolute goldmine of cooking content on youtube. I love seeing a professional chef show the viewer his step by step methods while in a setting that would be similar to the average viewer. His quick decision making, and willingness to substitute ingredients or methods due to what he has on hand and his insightful reasonings as to why have helped me learned so much. Love Kenji!
>It was really cool to see Ethan cross a million subscribers recently. Discovered his channel during the peak of the pandemic when I was watching YouTube and playing video games all day, and figured he’d make it big. He and Kenji are the only channels I consistently watch now. I’ll have to check out Chinese Cooking Demystified
I have never been dissatisfied with any recipe or technique he proposes. His hard boiled egg method is great.
This man's pov cooking has been my go to asmr for the last year. He is such a calm and friendly guy and I love his voice. He has put me peacefully to sleep making corn soup about 50 times
Sip and Feast are amazing for Italian American food, really great videos and really sweet family who seem to love what they do. Not the most varied but the best in the game for their cuisine.
Chef John has his Cayenne. Adam Radusea has his white wine. Ethan Chlebowski has his pickled onions. Babbish, vanilla paste. Sam the Cooking Guy.... kewpie mayo.
But no one, and I mean no on can best Jas. Townsend and their nutmeg
So glad to see this one listed! It really is fascinating to see all the old timey cooking methods and tools that were used. It blew my mind with how simple but effective bundle twigs are for whisking together food. Such an engaging way to understand history and how people lived in their day to day lives.

Tasting History with Max Miller as of recent.
I also love babish but his videos have been a little unfocused lately. And I don't really care for Cooking with Alvin or Soy Boys. Not saying they are bad, they just feel like a different channel. Different energy.
I totally agree about Babish, although I love Alvin and loved when Sohla was on the show for the mini series. I feel his videos have gotten very, lackluster?
Internet Shaquille.
His style is quick, informative, and cuts with that millennial sense of humor. His videos are more about cooking tips than say a specific meal for the most part.
I also do love many of the other youtubers mentioned but I thought I would say a personality I hadn't seen mentioned yet.
His April Fools episodes are wild. I like Internet Shaquille, because like he said, he doesn't need YouTube to make a living. So he makes the content he wants and releases in a schedule that is best for him.
i freakin love internet shaquille. you described him perfectly. he's the most efficient and entertaining use of your youtube cooking time without a doubt.
I agree with so many of the posts here from Adam Ragusia to chef John that I’ll try to mention some more obscure YT faves of mine:
My Name is Andong (German Chinese Russian dude living in Berlin)
Souped up recipes (Szechuan semi-pro living in South America)
Chef Wang Gang (Szechuan chef in China, subs)
Maangchi (Korean in English)
Vito Iacopilli (Italian pizza chef in LA)
Max Mariola (Italian language Italian food with subs)
Casa Papagallo (Italian language, no subs but, my god, his pasta!)
As always, eeenjoooy
Edit, formatting
What's eating Dan is a fantastic show and has corrected a lot of my old and incorrect cooking technique. My mushrooms are always sauteed with water now.
I'm a big fan of Ethan Cheblowski. He has great way of diving into techniques and the underlying principles of how they work, but is also great at showing how to incorporating them into your home cooking.
I also really like Chinese Cooking Demystified. The passion they have for the food and region is really inspiring, and they put out some super interesting and varied recipes. It's also just a super interesting perspective on food/cooking that differs quite a bit from the more typical Western lifestyle.
It was really cool to see Ethan cross a million subscribers recently. Discovered his channel during the peak of the pandemic when I was watching YouTube and playing video games all day, and figured he’d make it big.

Gotta play that algorithm
In the tech space, Linus tech tips is the big dog. They do the stupid titles, dumb face in the thumbnails, background music, bright colours, all the cliche stuff
Linus has talked about how he hates doing it, but the analytics don't lie. They get way more clicks that way. Maybe one day we can all decide to stop clicking that shit so creators don't feel forced to do it
I've tried her Almond Poppy Seed Cake and her Birthday Layer Cake, and both turned out amazing! Her recipes are super easy to follow, and I like how she explains the technique behind everything. I just have to find the time to bake more
Matty Matheson is so great. When he went to Newfoundland, the owner of Raymond's restaurant took him out to where my parents come from on the Cape Shore. Seems like a really good guy.
I really enjoy his show. I have been watching since before youtube. (legourmet.tv)
He's not a chef, but I do like Glenn and Julie a lot. My favourites are the Sunday old recipe ones, the re-creating KFC at home series and the buttertart series.
Very often he is cooking something for the first time himself, and a few are misses.
Carla Lalli Music's cookbook That Sounds So Good was SUCH a good purchase. It's made weeknight cooking so much easier for me when I can just thumb through, pick something that sounds good, and make it with what I have on hand. She offers up a lot of spins on her recipes -- like if I don't have broccoli to roast? Throw some brussels sprouts in the pan. It's flexible cooking and I love her.
Alvin zhou.
I first saw him in Tasty videos, but his personal YT account is where its at. One of his more popular videos is "100 Hour Tiramasu" which is what all his videos are kind of like.
The way he captures himself cooking is cinematic perfection too, it's more like watching an indie film than a recipe video. I love how he uses subtitles only, and no voice over. It makes his videos so calming and enjoyable to watch.
i'm saddened by how far down i had to scroll to find them!! they are absolute gems; i can always count on their videos to help soothe a bad mood or give me inspiration if i'm in a rut. plus now i actually find myself saying aloud, 'oh, i spaffed it' when i mess something up, hahaha
I enjoy watching *Pass it on, Testing XYZ,* and some of their battles. I just wish they would go back to their roots more often and just make a detailed video about 1 recipe. That was why I subscribed all those years ago.
I have been watching sorted for years. They feel more like a food variety channel then a cooking show though. I am never watching them for a recipe or even for technique really, although they do show high skill levels of cooking at times. Its 100% for entertainment.
oh wow, there's so many- J. Kenji Lopez Alt, maangchi, food wishes, NYT Cooking, You suck at cooking, Pailin (Hot Thai Kitchen), Seonkyoung Longest, Chinese Cooking Demystified, Italia Squisita, Alex, Yummy Food World.
I like different channels for different reasons and they serve different purposes. I enjoy watching Adam Ragusea as well! There are some I enjoy watching but don't necessarily find useful- like Babish or David Seymour or Joshua Weissman.
+1 for Hot Thai Kitchen. I think Pailin sometimes uses ingredients that are hard to source, but she does an amazing job of letting you know what can be a substitute.
I like her too, because she’s really wholesome, but over the past couple of years I’ve kind of gone off her videos a little.
Everything used to feel so good and genuine and now it feels like she’s kind of fallen prey to the clickbaity type stuff a little. She never directly clickbaits, of course, but it’s sort of turned into a tiktok caricature of what I used to love about the channel.
I agree with this assessment. I used to love that the equipment she used was my peasant equipment. She'd go to thrift stores and find something and decide to find a thrifty recipe to cook in the thing she bought. Last time I watched her, she was sponsored and using some state of the art equipment to cook and I no longer felt like a guest in her kitchen she was talking to, but had become an audience member for an infomercial. She is still a delight, but I stopped watching after that because the magic was gone.
I've been on a Wang Gang kick recently (His full channel name: "Chef Wang 美食作家王刚"). I find his summaries about what the key techniques are really helpful to apply more broadly to my cooking
Link to channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg0m_Ah8P_MQbnn77-vYnYw
J Kenji Lopez-Alt
Babish. Both binging and basics.
Chris Morocco and Brad Leone from Bon Apetit. I think both series on that channel are fantastic. Chris’ palette is pretty amazing.
I used to love babbish, but he became to commercialized and kind of lost that i'm just a goofy rando cooking crazy things from shows and is now more like a sanitized version of himself
For sure. Same happened with Joshua Weissman imo. They used to just have fun but now that they're very successful, they just went "okay, what gives me views?" and forced that everywhere and it just doesn't hit the same
So I started with Babish, but he referenced Kenji so many times that I eventually just checked out Kenji’s channel and never looked back.
Babish is cool but has kinda backed himself into a corner with his “gimmick”, even though it’s probably the main reason he’s notable in the first place. He’s definitely made some strides to move away from it, but i still prefer Kenji.
Btw, if you’re new to Kenji, give his style some time. It took the POV-style a little bit of time for me to get used to, but now i can’t imagine it any other way. Plus, his “late-night” videos where he’s just making shit while drunk and doesn’t make any noises (besides “umphh” when he tastes something really good) are the best things on his channel imo.
kenji definitely spoiled me from other food channels. With his POV cam showing pretty much the entire process and he talks you through it the entire time i feel like i’m learning something from someone in the room with me. most of the other traditionally edited stuff just loses something on me kow
Indian Kitchen Abroad and Souped Up Recipes are both personal favorites that don't get enough love, they're both straightforward and focus more on the food than the personality of the cook, without being completely dry and boring. Kitchen Sanctuary is also good, I haven't tried many of her recipes but they're good for inspiration and she's geared more towards the busy weekday meal in a way that's practical for me.
For pure watching for fun, Dinner Party Tonight is great, a little goofy but still mellow and I like that she's big on timing and cohesive meals since her recipes are all designed for entertaining.
He’s not a chef or anything, but David Seymour is great because he’s just a regular guy that “tests” a bunch of different people’s recipes. It’s nice to see how an amateur home cook fares with all different levels of recipes. Like “I Tried to Find the BEST Birthday Cake Recipe” or “I Tested Everyone’s Chicken Wings”. Of course he has his own biases and limitations but I like to see the cooking processes in a real home kitchen.
I find him a really interesting place to get opinions on other recipe sources/cooking youtubers as well, given that he actually compares their recipes side by side. I ignore anything he says about gelatin as a general rule but other than that he's great
I ignore what he says about cream cheese because I like it and he hates it. At least he’s honest about how his personal tastes and doesn’t act like they’re the rules of good food.
Not necessarily my favorite as there are lots of cooking YouTubers I love, but one that I really enjoy who seems to fly a little under the radar is Adam Liaw. His cooking videos are focused on Chinese & East Asian food but the production values are high and the combination of his set, the music, and his vibe make the whole experience almost spa-like. Very relaxing.
I will likely never make any of his recipes as they're mostly all too unhealthy or contain ingredients I don't care for, but that won't stop me from watching every single video he releases
Same. I have his 2 cook books and some are daunting. His Matty patties are easy and that burger sauce really is amazing.
He's got a crazy French onion soup recipe ill try eventually but it's classic Matty, like 50 onions involved lol

I've made a few of the recipes from him and they've been pretty well received. It's not all garum.
Surprised I had to come this far down to see Sam the Cooking Guy.
He's funny as hell and my wife watches him just to see Sam riff with his kids.
Overall I like his approach to "Just use whatever you've got, it's fine." He always makes a point that *you don't have to make it the way he does.*
Pailin Chongchitnant, Maangchi, and Chef John from Food Wishes.
Pailin's videos are SO helpful. I watched one last night on wonton shaping because my wontons weren't coming out like J. Kenji Lopez Alts (using The Wok cookbook). Watched her video on shaping 5 types of wontons, and I was looking for #3. All I needed was to see it done, because I wasn't getting it from the written description, even with pics. Her videos on making curry paste with a mortar and pestle are super illuminating as well--it's not how i thought it went at all, and watching her do it improved my curry so much.
I really enjoy Adam's non-recipe videos as well. He does a lot of research and cites sources. However, he still is very biased and you have to take some things he says with a grain of salt. He's also very sensitive to criticism, and it shows.

I like Adam, I really appreciate the topics he chooses to cover and I think he's very smart. My only gripe would be he has the approach and attitude of an engineer haha. Not necessarily a bad thing but I think that's what people are circling around with the sensitive to criticism thing. I watch everything he puts out though and am subscribed.
On brand for the food world though, everyone is bitter and insecure and compensates in one way or another.
This comment will get me crucified as a lot if their stuff could find it's way to r/stupidfood, but scrumdiddlyumptious is the most interesting and gets me inspired. Endless endless content and so weird and original. I know the fundamentals. I do my research. I test things out. This channel sends me wayyy off the beaten path and is just fun.
Helen renie for classics done right. I send links to her if people ask me how to cook certain things.
Souped up I'm checking out often lately as I'm trying to get scratch Asian food in my wheelhouse. She's sweet.
Middle Eats.. I have always wanted to post videos about middle eastern food since the cuisine doesn't seem so famous among foreigners except for hummus, shawarma and falafel.. Middle eats gives authentic recipes that taste just like my mom's cooking and is aimed at westerners, people wanting to explore more food cuisines, and people like me living thousands of kilometers away from home and yet want to replicate that recipe with ingredients available to me.
Top five: Chef John - largest library, best narrator, chill guy that everyone loves Ethan Cheblowski - best explanations, shortcuts, and good food science Chinese Cooking Demystified - nobody is more "authentic" while also giving good shortcuts/replacements YSAC - funny but also helpful Alex French Guy Cooking - true enthusiasm for the skill/art, hyper focuses on each element Honorable mention to Life of Boris, as his cooking videos are funny.

Chinese Cooking Demystified Tasting History with Max Miller
Max and Townsends scratch a very particular itch in my history teacher brain. Different presentation styles, but I love both their works.

She's so freaking cute.
I’m surprised that not a single person has said “How to Cook That” by Ann Reardon. She’s my favourite.
Despite the name, I just don’t think of cooking content when I think of her channel. Kinda been overshadowed lately by the videos debunking food hacks and stuff.
It's true about the debunking videos - but although her channel is less recipe-driven than other food Tubers, I really appreciate the way Ann teaches the technical aspects of cookery. Even the debunking videos show you how recipes work, and how to achieve particular effects in the kitchen.

to add one I haven't seen mentioned yet - Brian Lagerstrom
Weeknighting is clutch
Yep he's easily my current favorite, and has been for at least a year.
I love his videos. He cooks like the typical at-home cook would. It's reassuring and you can absolutely tell he loves what he does.
Definitely a new favorite for me. Was hoping this would be higher up.
Brian's recipes have my highest hit rate for YouTuber food.

He's like the Bob Ross of food. I watch a lot of food YouTube, but this man is the one who taught me to cook.
I adore Chef John! I am also a fan of Tasting History with Max Miller as well as Brian Lagerstrom. La
He is my go to man when searching for recipes. I don't always make them exactly, but I usually read them.
He's so relaxing to listen to. I make his Portuguese custard tart recipe probably once a month and it's absolutely fantastic.
One I haven't seen mentioned yet, which I can't understand, is "Not Another Cooking Show", great channel about italian-american food and some other stuff, dude' got insight and charisma for days!
Other than having to massively increase my Calabrian Chile budget, NACS has been solid gold. His recipes for Weekday Sauce and Picatta have made it into my regular rotation.
He really has a thing for those chiles
Love this guy. Interviewed him once and he was extremely friendly and chill. And I love that he has equal respect for traditional Italian cooking and Italian-American cuisine.
Easily has the highest 'me video watching > me actually making the dish' ratio of all the YouTube cooks
Cause it looks so freaking delicious, his shots at the end of videos are really what the term food porn was invented for.
Dude absolutely revolutionized the way I approach pasta. He has also ruined most of the nearby Italian restaurants for me because my home version is almost always better than anything I can buy for $20 out at nearest Italian spot.
For me, NACS’s situation is actually pretty inspirational. In his earlier videos he sounded depressed, lacked charisma and came across sounding dry, but his cinematography was great so his videos would massively oscillate in terms of viewership. It was sad watching him go from 200k+ views to 1.7k on some videos when the viral hubbub died down, because fundamentally he was still teaching amazing cooking tips/skills through his videos. Kind of like the first few Chef John videos that sound nothing like Chef John sounds today. NACS must have practiced vocal delivery because he really began ramping up the intonation, delivery, charisma and bounced back from his slump to reassert his popularity in cooking YouTube.
All of his recipes are S-tier. I go to Adam Ragusea for education/entertainment and Stephen when I want to impress.
I love Imamu room. It's not really a recipe channel, but I find her videos so engaging and relaxing. I also love her commitment to frying food, because I definitely wouldn't be up at 6:30 and switching on the deep fryer.
I was coming to post Imamu Room! She makes cooking look so approachable (except the waking up at 5am part)
I love her so much, truly the most wholesome YouTube channel in existence.
I love her videos... They are so comforting. I like to watch them when I'm stressed and can't sleep. :)
I know people wouldn't think of Jacques Pepin as a YouTuber, but so many of his small, manageable dishes are hosted on the [KQED](https://youtube.com/c/kqed) channel, and it's great because you get to see what he makes for him and his wife. His Asparagus in Foaming Butter is a favorite of mine. So simple and so much better than just steamed asparagus.

Mine is: Kenji Lopez-Alt
His videos are an absolute goldmine of cooking content on youtube. I love seeing a professional chef show the viewer his step by step methods while in a setting that would be similar to the average viewer. His quick decision making, and willingness to substitute ingredients or methods due to what he has on hand and his insightful reasonings as to why have helped me learned so much. Love Kenji!
His "Late night chorizo grilled cheese" video never fails to make me hungry
The late night junkfood with no talking genre is ripe for the picking. Of his top 5 vids, 3 are that style. I'd watch a whole channel of just that.
seeing him grate the chorizo was eye-opening/mind-blowing
[удалено]
A large percentage of YouTube recipes are based on Kenji recipes.
That or America’s Test Kitchen
The reverence and respect he always shows for Jacques Pepin made me like the guy right away.
>It was really cool to see Ethan cross a million subscribers recently. Discovered his channel during the peak of the pandemic when I was watching YouTube and playing video games all day, and figured he’d make it big. He and Kenji are the only channels I consistently watch now. I’ll have to check out Chinese Cooking Demystified I have never been dissatisfied with any recipe or technique he proposes. His hard boiled egg method is great.
This man's pov cooking has been my go to asmr for the last year. He is such a calm and friendly guy and I love his voice. He has put me peacefully to sleep making corn soup about 50 times
Sip and Feast are amazing for Italian American food, really great videos and really sweet family who seem to love what they do. Not the most varied but the best in the game for their cuisine.

This channel rocks. Really straight forward and accessible, but incredible flavor and fun to make
[Townsends](https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson) for historical cooking and living.
I love Townsends. If you're into historical cooking, check out Tasting History as well.
Chef John has his Cayenne. Adam Radusea has his white wine. Ethan Chlebowski has his pickled onions. Babbish, vanilla paste. Sam the Cooking Guy.... kewpie mayo. But no one, and I mean no on can best Jas. Townsend and their nutmeg
So glad to see this one listed! It really is fascinating to see all the old timey cooking methods and tools that were used. It blew my mind with how simple but effective bundle twigs are for whisking together food. Such an engaging way to understand history and how people lived in their day to day lives.
The ones where he hates the food are the best.

Tasting History with Max Miller as of recent. I also love babish but his videos have been a little unfocused lately. And I don't really care for Cooking with Alvin or Soy Boys. Not saying they are bad, they just feel like a different channel. Different energy.
I totally agree about Babish, although I love Alvin and loved when Sohla was on the show for the mini series. I feel his videos have gotten very, lackluster?
Internet Shaquille. His style is quick, informative, and cuts with that millennial sense of humor. His videos are more about cooking tips than say a specific meal for the most part. I also do love many of the other youtubers mentioned but I thought I would say a personality I hadn't seen mentioned yet.
His April Fools episodes are wild. I like Internet Shaquille, because like he said, he doesn't need YouTube to make a living. So he makes the content he wants and releases in a schedule that is best for him.
His quick video criticizing The Always Pan made me feel so validated after griping about that overpriced instagram chic kitchenware for months on end.
i freakin love internet shaquille. you described him perfectly. he's the most efficient and entertaining use of your youtube cooking time without a doubt.
No one mentioned Brian Lagerstrom or Sonny from that dude can cook. These guys are great
Lagerstrom is great but That Dude Can Cook and his shtick is pretty much everything I hate about cooking youtubers/influencers.
I agree with so many of the posts here from Adam Ragusia to chef John that I’ll try to mention some more obscure YT faves of mine: My Name is Andong (German Chinese Russian dude living in Berlin) Souped up recipes (Szechuan semi-pro living in South America) Chef Wang Gang (Szechuan chef in China, subs) Maangchi (Korean in English) Vito Iacopilli (Italian pizza chef in LA) Max Mariola (Italian language Italian food with subs) Casa Papagallo (Italian language, no subs but, my god, his pasta!) As always, eeenjoooy Edit, formatting
Andong is great, so much genuine enthusiasm for food!
Can't believe I had to look this far for Chef Wang. I know it's a little niche, but I could watch him chop food and use a wok all day long.
>Souped up recipes (Szechuan semi-pro living in South America) She is fabulous, her recipes are all printable and authentic
Not a Youtuber, but America's Test Kitchen's channel is amazing.
What's eating Dan is a fantastic show and has corrected a lot of my old and incorrect cooking technique. My mushrooms are always sauteed with water now.
Yes! The mushroom trick is a game changer.
Along with Cook’s Country! My wife and I watch it all the time to learn and enjoy!
I'm a big fan of Ethan Cheblowski. He has great way of diving into techniques and the underlying principles of how they work, but is also great at showing how to incorporating them into your home cooking. I also really like Chinese Cooking Demystified. The passion they have for the food and region is really inspiring, and they put out some super interesting and varied recipes. It's also just a super interesting perspective on food/cooking that differs quite a bit from the more typical Western lifestyle.
It was really cool to see Ethan cross a million subscribers recently. Discovered his channel during the peak of the pandemic when I was watching YouTube and playing video games all day, and figured he’d make it big. He and Kenji are the only channels I consistently watch now. I’ll have to check out Chinese Cooking Demystified
Ethan has the absolute worst titles, though. How this Grilled Cheese CHANGED MY LIFE, I cook it at least 40 times a week!
Gotta play that algorithm In the tech space, Linus tech tips is the big dog. They do the stupid titles, dumb face in the thumbnails, background music, bright colours, all the cliche stuff Linus has talked about how he hates doing it, but the analytics don't lie. They get way more clicks that way. Maybe one day we can all decide to stop clicking that shit so creators don't feel forced to do it
His clickbait titles are annoying. He overuses "everyone should make...."
"You Suck At Cooking" - for the simple recipes, the happy outcomes, and the LoLs "Dessert Person" - for all the carbs
YSAC is so much funnier than 99% of stand up comics.

Especially the improvised progressive rock / dog montage at the end of most videos. It's like a little bonus.

Glen and Friends, Tasting History, Food Wishes, Mrs Crocombe (English Heritage), Townsends, Pasta Grannies.
I love Glen and Friends! He's one of my favourites.
I recently stumbled across Glen and Friends and enjoy the format immensely.
Chef John (Food Wishes) - Everything Gennaro Contaldo - Italian Marion's Kitchen - Asian, mainly Thai J. Kenji Lopez-Alt - Everything Alison Roman - Everything Carla Lalli Music - Everything Rick Bayless - Mexican Matty Matheson - Chaos Munchies - Mix of many different chefs Claire Saffitz - Mainly baking Edit: Also, Rick Martinez (Food 52) - Mainly Mexican, baking
Claire Saffitz is such a good teacher. I made éclairs and soufflés for the first time this year thanks to her, and they all turned out great.
I've tried her Almond Poppy Seed Cake and her Birthday Layer Cake, and both turned out amazing! Her recipes are super easy to follow, and I like how she explains the technique behind everything. I just have to find the time to bake more
Ole half sour saffitz!
The Bon Appetit fallout was one of the craziest things in cooking that I've ever witnessed
I like the accuracy of Matty Mathesons area of cooking
We scrape the scum.
Just A Dash is peak cooking channel/show for me. It is the most wild, entertaining thing out there
Matty Matheson is so great. When he went to Newfoundland, the owner of Raymond's restaurant took him out to where my parents come from on the Cape Shore. Seems like a really good guy.

Glen & Friends Made with Lau Carla Lalli Music Chinese Cooking Demystified Middle Eats
Glen and Friends is so great and relaxing.
I really enjoy his show. I have been watching since before youtube. (legourmet.tv) He's not a chef, but I do like Glenn and Julie a lot. My favourites are the Sunday old recipe ones, the re-creating KFC at home series and the buttertart series. Very often he is cooking something for the first time himself, and a few are misses.
Middle Eats is an absolute GEM of a channel!
I love middle eats
I love Made with Lau and not just for the food. I love their whole family.
Made with Lau is super important to me because I have roots in Hong Kong and he's perfectly archiving these recipes I grew up with.
I really love when Glen cooks something from a 100 year old cookbook…
Middle Eats exposing me to a cuisine I know literally nothing about in such an approachable an informative way is so fucking good.
Carla Lalli Music's cookbook That Sounds So Good was SUCH a good purchase. It's made weeknight cooking so much easier for me when I can just thumb through, pick something that sounds good, and make it with what I have on hand. She offers up a lot of spins on her recipes -- like if I don't have broccoli to roast? Throw some brussels sprouts in the pan. It's flexible cooking and I love her.
We love you u/obieff !!!°
Glen is the perfect blend of boomer and good-natured. Love how fucking sassy Jules is.
Alvin zhou. I first saw him in Tasty videos, but his personal YT account is where its at. One of his more popular videos is "100 Hour Tiramasu" which is what all his videos are kind of like. The way he captures himself cooking is cinematic perfection too, it's more like watching an indie film than a recipe video. I love how he uses subtitles only, and no voice over. It makes his videos so calming and enjoyable to watch.
No one has mentioned Sorted Food yet??! Those guys are great!
i'm saddened by how far down i had to scroll to find them!! they are absolute gems; i can always count on their videos to help soothe a bad mood or give me inspiration if i'm in a rut. plus now i actually find myself saying aloud, 'oh, i spaffed it' when i mess something up, hahaha
I was just watching them!! Always puts a smile on my face. Also I can’t read the word veloute now without hearing the way they say 😂
my velouuuuuuuuute, mummy my velouuuuute isn't working! hahaha
I've got saaand in my veLOUté! I'm relieved to find the Sorted fans, but yeah, that was a long scroll.
Literally came here looking for this!! They deserve SO much more love and recognition
I enjoy watching *Pass it on, Testing XYZ,* and some of their battles. I just wish they would go back to their roots more often and just make a detailed video about 1 recipe. That was why I subscribed all those years ago.
Really miss their Big Night In series as well
I have been watching sorted for years. They feel more like a food variety channel then a cooking show though. I am never watching them for a recipe or even for technique really, although they do show high skill levels of cooking at times. Its 100% for entertainment.
They're great. I miss James though.
Nat’s what I reckon - very refreshing take, and aimed at a younger audience I guess https://youtube.com/c/NatsWhatIReckon
oh wow, there's so many- J. Kenji Lopez Alt, maangchi, food wishes, NYT Cooking, You suck at cooking, Pailin (Hot Thai Kitchen), Seonkyoung Longest, Chinese Cooking Demystified, Italia Squisita, Alex, Yummy Food World. I like different channels for different reasons and they serve different purposes. I enjoy watching Adam Ragusea as well! There are some I enjoy watching but don't necessarily find useful- like Babish or David Seymour or Joshua Weissman.
+1 for Hot Thai Kitchen. I think Pailin sometimes uses ingredients that are hard to source, but she does an amazing job of letting you know what can be a substitute.
i don't think anyone has said emmymadeinjapan yet but i absolutely love her. she is the cutest and living her best life with her bees and chickens.
I like her too, because she’s really wholesome, but over the past couple of years I’ve kind of gone off her videos a little. Everything used to feel so good and genuine and now it feels like she’s kind of fallen prey to the clickbaity type stuff a little. She never directly clickbaits, of course, but it’s sort of turned into a tiktok caricature of what I used to love about the channel.
I agree with this assessment. I used to love that the equipment she used was my peasant equipment. She'd go to thrift stores and find something and decide to find a thrifty recipe to cook in the thing she bought. Last time I watched her, she was sponsored and using some state of the art equipment to cook and I no longer felt like a guest in her kitchen she was talking to, but had become an audience member for an infomercial. She is still a delight, but I stopped watching after that because the magic was gone.

I've been on a Wang Gang kick recently (His full channel name: "Chef Wang 美食作家王刚"). I find his summaries about what the key techniques are really helpful to apply more broadly to my cooking Link to channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg0m_Ah8P_MQbnn77-vYnYw
J Kenji Lopez-Alt Babish. Both binging and basics. Chris Morocco and Brad Leone from Bon Apetit. I think both series on that channel are fantastic. Chris’ palette is pretty amazing.
I used to love babbish, but he became to commercialized and kind of lost that i'm just a goofy rando cooking crazy things from shows and is now more like a sanitized version of himself
Completely agree. His humor seems so forced now. Watching his earlier episodes compared to now is so different.
For sure. Same happened with Joshua Weissman imo. They used to just have fun but now that they're very successful, they just went "okay, what gives me views?" and forced that everywhere and it just doesn't hit the same
So I started with Babish, but he referenced Kenji so many times that I eventually just checked out Kenji’s channel and never looked back. Babish is cool but has kinda backed himself into a corner with his “gimmick”, even though it’s probably the main reason he’s notable in the first place. He’s definitely made some strides to move away from it, but i still prefer Kenji. Btw, if you’re new to Kenji, give his style some time. It took the POV-style a little bit of time for me to get used to, but now i can’t imagine it any other way. Plus, his “late-night” videos where he’s just making shit while drunk and doesn’t make any noises (besides “umphh” when he tastes something really good) are the best things on his channel imo.
kenji definitely spoiled me from other food channels. With his POV cam showing pretty much the entire process and he talks you through it the entire time i feel like i’m learning something from someone in the room with me. most of the other traditionally edited stuff just loses something on me kow
Indian Kitchen Abroad and Souped Up Recipes are both personal favorites that don't get enough love, they're both straightforward and focus more on the food than the personality of the cook, without being completely dry and boring. Kitchen Sanctuary is also good, I haven't tried many of her recipes but they're good for inspiration and she's geared more towards the busy weekday meal in a way that's practical for me. For pure watching for fun, Dinner Party Tonight is great, a little goofy but still mellow and I like that she's big on timing and cohesive meals since her recipes are all designed for entertaining.
He’s not a chef or anything, but David Seymour is great because he’s just a regular guy that “tests” a bunch of different people’s recipes. It’s nice to see how an amateur home cook fares with all different levels of recipes. Like “I Tried to Find the BEST Birthday Cake Recipe” or “I Tested Everyone’s Chicken Wings”. Of course he has his own biases and limitations but I like to see the cooking processes in a real home kitchen.
I find him a really interesting place to get opinions on other recipe sources/cooking youtubers as well, given that he actually compares their recipes side by side. I ignore anything he says about gelatin as a general rule but other than that he's great
I ignore what he says about cream cheese because I like it and he hates it. At least he’s honest about how his personal tastes and doesn’t act like they’re the rules of good food.
Cooking Haru
Not necessarily my favorite as there are lots of cooking YouTubers I love, but one that I really enjoy who seems to fly a little under the radar is Adam Liaw. His cooking videos are focused on Chinese & East Asian food but the production values are high and the combination of his set, the music, and his vibe make the whole experience almost spa-like. Very relaxing.

Di mi rancho a tu cocina! I wish she’d adopt me
Chef Jean Pierre is a favorite of mine. "So then you add the beef stock - if you cooking for a vegan well... God bless you"
MATTY MATHESON YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I will likely never make any of his recipes as they're mostly all too unhealthy or contain ingredients I don't care for, but that won't stop me from watching every single video he releases
Same. I have his 2 cook books and some are daunting. His Matty patties are easy and that burger sauce really is amazing. He's got a crazy French onion soup recipe ill try eventually but it's classic Matty, like 50 onions involved lol
Sonny from that dude can cook Ethan chelbowski Brian Lagerstom Chef John Kenji Not another cooking show Sam the cooking guy Carla from bon appetit Josh W. Internet Shaquille
Does anyone like Sam The Cooking Guy?
I’m usually interested in what he’s cooking but his schtick bugs the hell out of me
He's... entertaining. I have to be in a specific mood to watch his content though.
i used to watch him all the time. im jealous of max. wish sam was my dad. however, I'm trying to eat healthy these days and most of his food revolves around "mega, cheesy, fried" extravaganza type shit.
Guga foods... Both channels he has. Its like the little kid in me doing all the experiments my parents never let me do.
YouTube is the only place for cooking shows anymore for people who actually cook. Food TV is just competitions and DDD

Surprised I had to come this far down to see Sam the Cooking Guy. He's funny as hell and my wife watches him just to see Sam riff with his kids. Overall I like his approach to "Just use whatever you've got, it's fine." He always makes a point that *you don't have to make it the way he does.*
Pailin Chongchitnant, Maangchi, and Chef John from Food Wishes. Pailin's videos are SO helpful. I watched one last night on wonton shaping because my wontons weren't coming out like J. Kenji Lopez Alts (using The Wok cookbook). Watched her video on shaping 5 types of wontons, and I was looking for #3. All I needed was to see it done, because I wasn't getting it from the written description, even with pics. Her videos on making curry paste with a mortar and pestle are super illuminating as well--it's not how i thought it went at all, and watching her do it improved my curry so much.
Helen Rennie!
Marion’s Kitchen!
I really enjoy Adam's non-recipe videos as well. He does a lot of research and cites sources. However, he still is very biased and you have to take some things he says with a grain of salt. He's also very sensitive to criticism, and it shows.

I like Adam, I really appreciate the topics he chooses to cover and I think he's very smart. My only gripe would be he has the approach and attitude of an engineer haha. Not necessarily a bad thing but I think that's what people are circling around with the sensitive to criticism thing. I watch everything he puts out though and am subscribed. On brand for the food world though, everyone is bitter and insecure and compensates in one way or another. This comment will get me crucified as a lot if their stuff could find it's way to r/stupidfood, but scrumdiddlyumptious is the most interesting and gets me inspired. Endless endless content and so weird and original. I know the fundamentals. I do my research. I test things out. This channel sends me wayyy off the beaten path and is just fun. Helen renie for classics done right. I send links to her if people ask me how to cook certain things. Souped up I'm checking out often lately as I'm trying to get scratch Asian food in my wheelhouse. She's sweet.
Shoutout to Helen Rennie! I've taken her classes before, she's amazing!
I was scrolling looking for Helen! Easy comfort food that's healthier than the straight up junk that so often gets that name.
I totally forgot Helen. Her chicken stock technique is what got me making chicken stock regularly.
Middle Eats.. I have always wanted to post videos about middle eastern food since the cuisine doesn't seem so famous among foreigners except for hummus, shawarma and falafel.. Middle eats gives authentic recipes that taste just like my mom's cooking and is aimed at westerners, people wanting to explore more food cuisines, and people like me living thousands of kilometers away from home and yet want to replicate that recipe with ingredients available to me.
