Cooking Youtubers you Recommend? - Because comparing a $400 steak to a $20 steak is not content

Fallow: some fellas from a michellin star restaurant. Good tips and zero bullshit
Mad Scientist BBQ for my smoking needs
Checked out a couple videos from these two channels and liked them both. Thanks, I've wanted a good BBQ channel beyond the BBQ With Franklin clips from his PBS thing.

I really like how little hamming for the camera there is. Usually anybody with a camera thinks they're Emeril when I'm just here for the food.
 
John Kirkwood is a great channel.

He's a retired English chef and his videos are incredibly comfy.
I only discovered him recently. It’s all stuff you could do at home. Some great English classics in there too.

It should be required viewing for council estate mums so they actually get some nutrition in their vile bastard offspring and don’t just feed them microchips.
 
Looks like Alton Brown is finally doing a new YouTube show! Sounds like the plan is release new episodes weekly:

Just saw that and was about to post. GOOD. Hopefully he's figured out how to regularly make videos without turning it into a full television type of production and can keep it up.
 
Tomorrow I’m going through this thread and subscribing to all the channels I’m not already subscribed to. Thanks, fellow foodie kiwis!
 
I watched a lot of LifeofBoris (is that his name?) in winter 2019, but I stopped watching him regularly shortly after, before the Ukraine War started and he made a short apology video about it (something beyond his control), in which he apologized for his goddamn ethnicity.

But yeah that did it for me - just ignore it dude. His channel was all over the place anyway. His early videos had stuff about games and Slavic culture, and more comedy, then he switched to cooking on a budget - which is informative, but not exactly rocket science. So I don't think he counts as a proper cooking channel. Cool theme tho, it's stuck in my head now.

Anyone who is ashamed of being a Slav can’t be that bad.
 
This is a 50/50 as some times he swerves into “cooking YouTubers you hate” territory, but Vincenzo’s Plate is good for traditional Italian dishes. He’s also shown some great restaurants in Rome which I’ve had a chance to visit and he’s given me new favourites to visit.

I love his Italian food autism, which is a genetic trait most Italians have, but sometimes he lays the whole “being Italian” thing on a bit too thick and it’s like a minstrel show. At least he actually is Italian and not like some weird Burgers who say they are Italian but pronounces Italian words like they’re French and have Polish surnames and Greek first names.

Start with some of his cooking videos first then see if you like his occasional slop. His rating of store bought Italian stuff is actually quite good and not “I bought everything made of chicken in Costco” garbage.

Seeing this made me laugh, since the whole "thaw the bird in the brine" thing was my takeaway from his original Romancing the Bird recipe when I had to actually do it. A frozen turkey is just a giant ice cube, so why not just chuck the bird, the brine and the ice in a cheap cooler (I use an Igloo Playmate) and mostly use the bird to keep the brine under 40F? Just check on it once a day and if there's no ice cubes still floating, add some and close it back up.
 
This might not appeal to Americans, but Ziang’s Food Workshop is another one I enjoy. They teach you how to make Chinese takeaway meals that you get here in Bongland.

It’s a mother and son team who have takeaways. The mother is nuts but in a fun way.

They were bullied into changing their channel name because white Americans decided the world “oriental” was racist (British Chinese use it a lot) and American Bananas are just as rabid as white SJW. British Chinese > American “Asians”.
 
You can never go wrong with Chef Jean-Pierre. Thanks to him a lot of my home cooking is better tasting to me than restaurant food.

Papa G's Low Carb Recipes has some good stuff too, but he's been AWOL for the past couple years.

Then there's Cooking with the Blues with the late great Chef Daddy Jack Chaplin.

And Rokusaburo Michiba, the original Iron Chef Japanese. Almost 95 years old and still cooking.
