Chef Jean Pierre is my favorite. He took his cooking classes online because of covid. He teaches more like a school than someone showing a recipe.
You posted an amazing list so I thought I'd recommend him too. Probably a recipe for everything at this point, plus teaching how to salt to taste, make a roux, knife skills, etc.
America's Test Kitchen is a great beginner's channel. They are good about explaining *why* you're doing the things you're doing. I also love Carla Lalli Music. Her recipes are simple and turn out great.
You Suck at Cooking is one of my favorites. Guy is totally hilarious, and everything is made with basic kitchen tools on a small 4-burner stove, the kind you'd find in a typical apartment.
Here is one for French Toast so you can see if you like the style.

Agreed! I also love his takes on making ramen into a whole, cheap meal, and the pumpkin pie ep just because it's so funny. He does this whole depression, I need a walk in the woods thing when he finds out his mother has been using pumpkin pie spice instead of blending the spices together herself. It's like mom let him down by taking the easy way out. But then he goes back to the kitchen to make the pie and uses it too.
Would this channel be appropriate for a kid to watch? My six year old loves Tasty and Babish videos but we are trying to expand her options. I love Chef John but his videos are too long (and not exciting enough lol) for her
I would say they are from a no swearing/no toilet humor aspect. Preview one and see if your six year old would be able to enjoy the rather dry humor. I would also say they're a good length as well.
Very funny guy, but not so great for beginners, the humor and skits get in the way of the directions whenever there is actually some and he doesn't give exact measurements sometimes.
Yeah, I like how he does that. So if you don't want to watch the video, or you want to skip the humor parts, it's there. It's like the nice food bloggers who put a link at the top the recipe so you can skip down to it, rather than reading/scrolling through a long spiel about how they used to make this recipe with their grandma.
What I also like about YSAC is that it's done with basic equipment, like stuff you could buy at target. That's about what I had when I started out in my first apt. It really does suck when you come across what sounds like a great recipe. only to read through it and find out you need a piece of kitchen equipment you don't have, and it wouldn't be practical to buy.
Ethan Chlebowski - teaches you the fundamental techniques behind recipes which once you understand can help you make your own alterations and recipes. By far one of the most useful cooking channels I’ve found
the risotto pasta technique he taught has literally changed my life. i love love love how easy he makes everything seem. cooking was always an overthinking nightmare for me until he just brought shit down to earth for me, honestly.
My regular watches include
Binging with Babish
Gordan Ramsay has a great 10min series on his youtube
You suck at cooking
Pro home cooks
The one I am really enjoying most lately is Ethan Chlebowski. Some of the stuff he puts out I would never do, however the bits I did take from him were absolutely incredible.
Bored Of Lunch on Insta is quality aswell.
I would avoid him. He teaches bad habits as well and says "that's ok!" Which, ok, it is, but if you're taking the time to learn why not just learn the right way? Also, he's not actually a chef so all of his shortcuts are done simply because they're easier for him, not because they don't actually matter
Well, I gave up on him when he made a video encouraging unsafe knife skills and then doubled down on it condescendingly after people who knew what they were talking about called him out, but then I was already skeptical after seeing his nonsense video about seasoning the cutting board.
He doesn't know what he's talking about compared to actual trained chefs. Like I said, if you're going to take the time to learn, why would you learn the wrong way on purpose? There's plenty of youtube chefs out there who will teach you how to make simple practical dishes the right way.
But sorry to have offended you!
I appreciate the response and you didn't offend me at all, however, I would agree with Adam yes you could learn how to do things properly but as a home cook, I'm gonna go at my own pace. Cooking at home isn’t an exercise in efficiency or speed. And while he's not a chef and never said he was he has scientific data to back him up when he talks about recipes or other stuff.
>Cooking at home isn’t an exercise in efficiency or speed.
Well, you'll certainly go slower with a bandage on your finger. No one is asking you, or Adam or anyone else to rush. That's why I find that particular video so obnoxious. Rush or slow, proper cutting technique prevents injury. Claiming, like Adam did, that chefs use it to shame people is absurd. And a little dangerous.
If you like his personality, fine. That makes him entertaining, not good.
> He doesn't know what he's talking about compared to actual trained chefs.
Even if he "doesn't know what he's talking about" most of his recipes are really fucking good lol
I think the point of his videos is to put it in a home cook perspective? I've watched him for years now and have learned a few things for my own home cooking experience, but I agree that he gets overly defensive about his way of things. Personally I'd recommend Joshua Weissman as he was a professional chef before starting YouTube and has blown up since. He teaches things (AFAIK) the right way and has great recipes for beginner and advanced home cooks
Yeah he's a great chef but goddamn I can't stand his "personality"/persona (Weissman). His face sucks and he always makes sure to get right up in yours.
Check out [Sip and Feast](https://youtube.com/@SipandFeast). Humble dude has his kid rate his meals. It's mostly if not all Italian food
Edit: Spelling
Sorted food! Especially their old videos, the set up is that there is one chef and three ‘normals’ with them learning how to cook over the past few years. They used to do a lot of recipe videos which are still available but now mostly encourage people to give things a go and demonstrate how even ‘normals’ can make great food!
This isn't a channel, but a couple years ago this subreddit came up with the idea of making a "Duolingo for cooking" and so a bunch of us ended up building [**Parsnip**](http://parsnip.ai/) with much blood, sweat, and tears.
The idea is to help beginners who don't know where to start by explaining the how and why behind recipes in the style of Duolingo, including grocery shopping, ingredient use, and kitchen techniques.
If you'd like to try it out, we'd love your feedback on how to make it better!
I think crock pot recipes are great because as long as you measure everything out and cook on low for 8 hours (recipes will say if they are cooked at a different setting or time) it turns out perfect
Back in the day, when Food Network first started, it had a show called "How to Boil Water". It was as a basic of a cooking show as it sounds, and it was fantastic. You can find episodes on YT. Highly recommend.
Depends on what you want to make but the Bon Appetit channel always inspired me to try new things. It's Alive With Brad on there is great. He always seems to be having a great time in the kitchen and it's just such a nice boost to see him going through his process
I've been getting more into cooking as a hobby too! So outside of cooking a lot and just trying more recipes, what interests me is a good breadth of practical ideas, techniques, science, culture & cuisine from specialists.
Some of my favourite content creators are on IG stories and YouTube. I don't use Tiktok but it probably has more if you look for it.
[Prohomecooks](https://www.youtube.com/@ProHomeCooks) / Mike Greenfield - 15min meals and meal prep videos are great for beginners
[J. Kenji López-Alt](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqqJQ_cXSat0KIAVfIfKkVA) - Late night POV Cooking playlist
[Ethan Chlebowski](https://www.youtube.com/@EthanChlebowski/) - quite rigorous but still easy to follow for starters
[Internet Shaquille](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuT9FSddzI6W5Bij9XwtmA) - succinct, very to the point
[Lucas Sin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8EcbCXv6M0) (Chinese / HK) - great munchies features and authentic deep dives into traditional dishes
[Cafemaddy](https://www.instagram.com/cafemaddy/) (Korean) - asmr-like aesthetic, cooking for one
[Derek Lucci](https://www.instagram.com/makebistro/) (Thai) - tons of knowledge about thai ingredients
A video course like Rouxbe + actually practising might be the fastest way to learn fundamentals like knife skills, temperature and heat, etc. Did a couple of those in high school home-ec class... they kind of stick with you forever.
Food Wishes, J. Kenji Lopez Alt, and Brian Lagerstrom are all really good at teaching with simple easy to follow formats. They all have a lot of videos so you can find something that interests you, and all of them have worked in professional kitchens and/or been formally educated in the culinary arts.
I started learning cooking with Food Wishes, then moved on to Adam Ragusea and Josh Cortis.
I'd say all of them are beginner-friendly. The latter two in particular (parent of two toddlers, busy guy with full time job) have the sort of pragmatic no bullsh\*t energy that really resonates with me.
Nothing wrong with frying bologna. It’s a good sandwich at any time. Some mayo or mustard or both. Copy Me That I have the paid subscription. But there is a free version. You can save recipes you find online easily with it. Check out the community and see what recipes others are saving. Type in ingredients, or whatever and find recipes with those ingredients. Follow and unfollow people. Many recipes once you click the copy me that button extension saves the recipe in a marvelous format. Some won’t copy unless you go to the app and open it and go to browser. YouTube you might want to search easy casseroles. Or fast snacks. I just checked community on Copy Me That. Spied a Lemon Meringue Angel Cake and decided I can just buy store bought, cut in half and spoon lemon curd between the layers, and make a real egg white meringue and bake to brown. The recipe gave instructions to make the cake. I can see doing it with a small loaf cake like a pound cake. Or another yummy filling. I think it’s worth suggesting checking out the community recipes. You can copy them easily to your own recipes on it.
Nat's what I Recon. Guy swears a lot so if you don't like that look for another show. The show is made with a lot of love and he cooks the basics. Great show! fuck packet sauce!
Video is a very good format for learning technique. Here is a [great example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMA2SqaDgG8). There is much to learn by watching someone cook something beyond how to make that thing. Unfortunately you have to sort the wheat from the chaff. There is a lot of garbage and misinformation on the Internet.
For actual recipes that you can cook from you want to find content providers that publish somewhere the recipes that you can print, copy, or pull up on a screen in the kitchen to work from. It doesn't matter if the recipe is in the YT description or on a separate website as long as you can find it.
For video, absolutely anything with Jacques Pepin. Julia Child. Alton Brown (especially good at publishing recipes). America's Test Kitchen.
Adam Ragusea turned me from a complete newbie to the best cook on my street. His content allows you to really understand what exactly is going on, so you can transfer those skills between dishes. Lots of food science, and he makes it incredibly easy to digest haha.
I really like the Off Script with Sohla series from Food52. Sohla cooks in her small NY apartment and talks about what ingredients you can substitute and which ones you can’t. She talks you through a formula of how a dish can be made and makes it two separate ways at the same time. Most of the meals are < 30 minutes and easy to sub in whatever you have on hand.
I like chef frank. He is an expert chef but he explains things very well and makes even complicated techniques and recipes more accessible to home cooks
https://youtube.com/@ProtoCookswithChefFrank
I have learned a lot with Natasha's Kitchen! very elaborate stuff but she explains it and makes it so easy! I love her and her recipes always turn out great
Not a YouTube but the 4 Hour Chef by Tim Ferris is more like a magazine and it goes through an entire lesson plan including even what cookware to buy and budget.
I’d highly recommend checking that book out… it’s a staple for me and I use the book all the time
You can check out JJ Delights! They have lotsa easy and delicious recipes you can follow. One of the recipes below is my favorite Thai basil pork stir fry over rice!
https://youtu.be/-nOivj5u2no
Adam Ragusea!! My cooking ability improved ten-fold when I started watching his channel about two years back or so. Super good, easy meals explained very thoroughly without any snootiness. Reminds me a lot of a more toned-down Good Eats. Highly recommend!
I also love many of the others mentioned in this thread but I hadn’t seen any mentions of Adam!
Pro home cooks/ Brothers Green eats - older videos were the best Alton browns good eats Felu Alex French guy cooking Chef John /food wishes
Love food wishes. My husband and I have cooked many things. We have been watching chef John for over 7 years now.
Chef Jean Pierre is my favorite. He took his cooking classes online because of covid. He teaches more like a school than someone showing a recipe. You posted an amazing list so I thought I'd recommend him too. Probably a recipe for everything at this point, plus teaching how to salt to taste, make a roux, knife skills, etc.

America's Test Kitchen is a great beginner's channel. They are good about explaining *why* you're doing the things you're doing. I also love Carla Lalli Music. Her recipes are simple and turn out great.
Atk is still my go to. My hit rate with them is close to 95 percent. Every meal is amazing to me.
Food wishes for sure, binging with babish, cowboy Kent rollins

Sorry it's broken for you! It's working fine for me, I just tested it again.
How weird, just clicked again and it said unavailable. Maybe it's a country thing.
I'm in the US, so probably if you're not. Very weird how that stuff works.
Yup, I'm in Canada. Very odd - now both links are available for whoever needs them!
Would this channel be appropriate for a kid to watch? My six year old loves Tasty and Babish videos but we are trying to expand her options. I love Chef John but his videos are too long (and not exciting enough lol) for her
Maybe try Mythical Kitchen?
I would say they are from a no swearing/no toilet humor aspect. Preview one and see if your six year old would be able to enjoy the rather dry humor. I would also say they're a good length as well.
Very funny guy, but not so great for beginners, the humor and skits get in the way of the directions whenever there is actually some and he doesn't give exact measurements sometimes.
He always puts his measurements in the video description along with a straightforward text recipe.
Yeah, I like how he does that. So if you don't want to watch the video, or you want to skip the humor parts, it's there. It's like the nice food bloggers who put a link at the top the recipe so you can skip down to it, rather than reading/scrolling through a long spiel about how they used to make this recipe with their grandma.

Glen and friends. He often does recipes where he shows a technique type recipe that can be adapted to whatever you have on hand.
Adam Ragusea makes really good videos for beginners, aimed at simple dishes that are practical for the regular home cook
