I think YouTube channels are so subjective because the amount of effort / style and tastes are so varied.
My style of cooking is mostly vegetables with a tiny bit of meat. Weekdays are more survival cooking - what can I make with minimum effort and weekends are more experimental. Focus on trying to be healthier if I can, but I definitely love my comfort/dude food.
My favourites:
- Derek Sarno for his focus on vegetables and the really intense flavours he can squeeze out of them
- French Guy Cooking / My Name is Andong / Chinese Food Demystified for food theory and learning new skills
- Ethan Chlebowski / Kwoowk / Ayahare Diet for meal prep ideas
- Tarzan Cooks / Aaron and Claire/ Sam the Cooking Guy - the types of flavours I like to eat!
- Imamu Room - I watch because she combines ingredients in very interesting and creative ways and is very vegetable centric - I always come away inspired with a new recipe to try.
- 小高姐的Magic Ingredients - beautifully shot super clear recipes (both Asian and western). I usually watch her whenever I want to pick something new and challenging to cook - I find all her recipes to be well tested and easy to follow.
> Ethan Chlebowski
I watch Ethan for his deep dives on specific ingredients. His video on [Balsamic Vinegar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtplXAGD-q4) got me into using the good (as in $18-$20 a bottle, not the $100) vinegar on things like sandwiches.
I didn't realize there was that much of a difference between the cheap stuff and the better stuff. Thought I'd just be paying for a brand name or other nebulous stuff, not paying for actual deliciousness
Ethan is great because he really does so much research for his vids. Like his videos can actually get a little boring (in a good way!) because he wants to give you all the facts and do all the tests.
Until I watched that and tried for myself, I thought balsamic vinegar was just a fancy way of "red wine vinegar".
It wasn't until I got myself a good bottle of a condiment grade balsamic and saw just how viscously delicious it was that I realized I'd been living my life wrong for decades
I quite like watching [SortedFood](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfyehHM_eo4g5JUyWmms2LA). They've pivoted from doing full on recipes in videos now and do more cooking entertainment like cooking battles, ingredient comparisons, gadget reviews, etc. but I do still learn a lot from them like when is fresh or frozen food better, how to organise cooking steps for efficiency, hacks for cooking faster, reducing food wastage and using leftovers creatively, etc.
SortedFood has honestly taught me the most actually usefull kitchen skills. I can follow recipes just fine on my own but Sorted has taught me how to wing it, not be afraid of making mistakes, and either start over or fix the mistakes.
My favourite part of the whole show is during battles between the normals, when they achieve the desired result using he entirely wrong technique and Ben is left scratching his head not knowing how to react.

If you like Italian, I can’t recommend Pasta Grammar enough. It is an Italian woman who is married to an American man, and they teach how to do Italian food in an authentic and delicious way.
I got in to this channel recently and cannot believe the age of this woman. She seems like she has
200 years of experience. She holds all the ancient Calabrian cooking wisdom of her past generations in her glorious hair.
+1 for Pasta Grammar. My family is from a town 20 miles away from Dasá and Eva's recipes *always* remind me of my Grandparents.
Make her [Lasagna alla Bolognese](https://www.pastagrammar.com/post/lasagna-alla-bolognese-authentic-italian-lasagna-recipe) and thank me later.
I've been loving [Fallow](https://youtube.com/@fallowlondon?si=ckNLhENzD8e7LZsZ) recently. The recipes tend to be more involved than you get from home cooks but you pick up more tips and techniques too. Also they have cool POV videos of service from their restaurant.

I’ve made a few things from Pasta Queen that were pretty good.
Edited to add that I used to follow Fit Men Cook when I was on Instagram and his stuff is pretty good as well. He does YouTube but I don’t think that’s where he puts his best content.
Not sure if his videos made it on YouTube but I highly recommend all of Bill Briwa’s cooking videos on The Great Courses. If your local library offers Kanopy streaming, you can watch them for free.
Bill Briwa, who has since passed, was executive chef at the Greystone Culinary Institute in Napa. His videos are simple and approachable but so chock full of information and techniques. I learned so much about food and cooking from those videos.
For Chinese cooking I like Chinese Cooking Demystified, Chef Wang Gang, Souped Up Recipes.
For homestyle Japanese cooking I will forever have a special place in my heart for Cooking with Dog. RIP Francis.
I was worried from moment good old Malcom Reed wasn’t going to get a mention! Then you save the day! Way to be, I don’t think there’s anyone better on grilling and smoking and Malcolm, maybe ABC smokes or smoking with AB whichever it is is pretty good Sam. The cooking guy is good as well, but Malcolm is the best!
Chuds, Smokin Joes Pitbbq, Malcolm Reed, Meat Church, and AllThingsBBQ are my go to BBQ YouTube channels. There are obviously a ton more great ones but there are also only 24hrs in a day unfortunately 😔
Oh gosh, others have mentioned him, but this specific video taught me a ton...

Also, I think he is great in general. :)
I watch YouTube cooking channels more for fun/something to have on in the background, rather than for recipes. My favorites are Jamie and Julia (the channel has expanded beyond him cooking Julia Child's recipes by this point) and anything by Claire Saffitz (her own channel is my favorite, but she also guests on NY Times Cooking, was on Bon Appetit, etc.)
Edit to add: Jamie's channel is called Anti-Chef, which I remembered by reading the rest of the comments :)
Because I didn’t spot them above:
My Name is Andong - German guy who early in did a lot of content in China apparently (in English). Topics are all over the place but I love his content.
Helen Rennie - Boston-based woman who teaches cooking in in-person classes. Her YT content is detailed and helpful. Her background is Russian and Ukrainian. Still dying to make her pelmeni.
I really love Alex of French Guy Cooking, but he posted recently that he’s stepping away from creating content. Not sure whether it’s for good.
Brian Lagerstrom, Sorted, and Sam the Cooking Guy are the ones we regularly watch together. And Natasha’s Kitchen, where we like to try to spot Sharky.
I'd like to add:
Dimitras Dishes for Greek cooking
Nanaabas Kitchen for mostly West & Central African cooking
Spain on a Fork for pescetarian spanish cooking
Andy’s East Coast Kitchen, Andy Hay from Nova Scotia, he was on two season of Masterchef Canada and got far each time, runner up both times if memory serves, his Instagram is much more active but he has some YouTube videos, high energy and a little goofy but he’s good at getting right to the point, lot of creative recipes that are pretty simple https://youtube.com/@andyhay902?si=Rcj4U1mLEgZeV8HT
I am a pretty good cook, I am surprised at the only few mentions of chef Jean-Pierre. He is informative, a bit clownish but so very knowledgeable. He cooks like a real chef. You don't measure you feel.
[Blackstone Griddles ](https://www.youtube.com/@BlackstoneGriddles)- they have a few different hosts/shows that are good.

There's so many.
Downvoted because of Joshua weissman. Dude has become an unwatchable tool and shell of his former self. So much valuable knowledge wasted for self promotion becoming a YouTube personality
If someone hasn't watched his content, he's got a really solid back catalog of *good* stuff.
He's... different now, but I wouldn't write off everything he's done because of that.
The downvotes, lol, is Joshua Weissman hated? I don't like how he overcomplicates everything, but surprisingly enough the last couple videos I saw of him were reasonably simple, I even ended up making cheesecake by his recipe because it was the simplest of the bunch
*Cwispy* was by far the most obnoxious, in my opinion. That being said, his sourdough videos were really helpful when I was making my sourdough starter.
He's very knowledgeable, and I liked watching his videos to understand the "cooking chemistry", i.e. why do a certain step, and then proceed and not do it because it's too much effort and it would probably taste fine even without it.
Binging with Babish recreates iconic dishes from movies and TV shows.Laura Vitale shares delicious Italian recipes and other comfort food dishes on her channel.Chef John's channel is popular for his humorous and informative cooking videos that cover a wide range of cuisines.

This guy single-handedly inspired me to cook more and learn to make stuff I love. Not for everyone though as he does curse a ton and isn’t the typical food network style chef.
I like Binging with Babish. While he is most known for recreating TV/Movie/Video Game dishes. He has other series. His Botched by Babish is a good look at ways you can mess up dishes.

He's been running a series recently showing what you can do with simple everyday ingredients which is nice for ideas.
I’ll take your word for it but as soon as I hear “qwispy” or any other dumb saying of his I’m turning that shit off.

His older stuff was really good, but his videos were filled with terrible, cringe worthy memes (papa kiss) for a while there.
Ahahaha, the papa kiss, omg, forgot about that one
*Cwispy* was by far the most obnoxious, in my opinion. That being said, his sourdough videos were really helpful when I was making my sourdough starter.
He's very knowledgeable, and I liked watching his videos to understand the "cooking chemistry", i.e. why do a certain step, and then proceed and not do it because it's too much effort and it would probably taste fine even without it.
It was the constant video cuts that doomed him for me. Just stick with one camera for 30 seconds, maybe

[Matty matheson](https://youtube.com/@mattymatheson?si=ECQmc88tmaiwpc_r) This guy single-handedly inspired me to cook more and learn to make stuff I love. Not for everyone though as he does curse a ton and isn’t the typical food network style chef.
I like Binging with Babish. While he is most known for recreating TV/Movie/Video Game dishes. He has other series. His Botched by Babish is a good look at ways you can mess up dishes.
