With shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown becoming wildly successful cooking has become a bigger at-home hobby than ever before in the United States. With the advent of the internet, virtually anyone can become a decent cook.
A couple days ago the the community of r/cooking on Reddit compiled a list of the best cooking channels on YouTube to help amateurs become Gordon Ramsays themselves! Here are the top choices.
Food Wishes with Chef John
I have been watching Chef John for ages. The first time I ever made homemade pizza I used his California Pizza recipe. The great thing about this channel is Chef John does not show up in the videos and he explains everything in detail but allows viewers to improvise. Here is his popular Buttermilk fried chicken recipe.
Sorted Food
Not my personal favorite when it comes to cooking channels, I hate the “YouTube” banter, but plenty of people really like these brits and their creative recipes. Here is their recipe for Cronuts
Vegan Black Metal Chef
If you are a vegan and into the Norwegian heavy metal this is the channel for you. Honestly, this is more of a novelty cooking account but the recipes are spot on and it’s good for a laugh! Here is his (?) vegan pad thai recipe.
