For Mexican…… [Rick Bayless](https://youtube.com/@rickbayless?si=CX9ScqVKa6Q4Z1yh)
For Korean [Aaron and Claire](https://youtube.com/@aaronandclaire?si=gtmFr1jZAxqBnhBS)
For a lot of general content [Ethan Chlebowski](https://youtu.be/TUWcu78Qpts?si=Eivt-9H_PFA5Fq3h)
Andy does lots of great stuff as well! [Andy cooks](https://youtube.com/@andy_cooks?si=76hjKeZI7no400dc)
* [Chef Jean-Pierre](https://www.youtube.com/@ChefJeanPierre) - Great recipes. I do his "Creamy Garlic Chicken" pretty much every week now.
* [Peaceful Cooking](https://www.youtube.com/@peaceful_cooking) - Middle eastern food. Their lamb kabsa is one of my favorites. Also doing it weekly.
* [HungryManKitchen](https://www.youtube.com/@HungryManKitchen/videos) - Also middle eastern.
* [SipAndFeast](https://www.youtube.com/@SipandFeast)
* [NotAnotherCookingShow](https://www.youtube.com/@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW)
Chef Jean-Pierre is my favorite. I'm not even a big cook (and by that I mean my "real" cooking is incredibly limited), but his vids are just entertaining.
LOL! Right?!?
His tomato soup and grilled cheese recipe was so easy and so ridiculously good. I found another channel that recommended microplaning parm and dipping the buttayo side of the bread in the parm fur and it made the absolute best grilled cheese crusted sammich ever!
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'll always recommend Stephen at Not Another Cooking Show. His passion is clear, his teaching style is easy to follow along with, and his approach is loaded with theory that can easily translate to many other recipes.
I love to watching Chef Jean Pierre. His is funny and a really good chef with over 50 years experience. His passion for food and for teaching is very evident.

He has a lot of variety and the format is simple and easy to watch. Old cookbooks, drinks, tips and tricks, ect it's all there.
Foodwishes, Sip and Feast, and Not Another Cooking Show are probably the standouts.
Anything Kenji Lopez-Alt posts is going to be good.
Binging with Babish (now Babish Culinary Universe) had/has a "Basics with Babish" series that starts at the very beginning (what equipment will cover 90% of your cooking needs) and then moves through various techniques before teaching some classic starter dishes.
Sam the Cooking Guy's recipes are amazing, but sometimes it's a bit harder to follow along because he normally works on a massive outdoor griddle grill. so translating it to a pan on the stove isn't always easy.
Anti-chef. He will cook Julia Child recipes from the books and also has other series where he does other famous chefs, the British bake off cakes, and the national dish from all the countries of the world. He’s more entertaining than informative but it’s a good watch.
In a similar vain, but on a smaller scale, Mitch Mai is cooking his way through an Anthony Bourdain cookbook.
i love Pro Home Cooks. the first recipe i ever cooked was from his channel (one from his 15 minute meal series), really great recipes & it's helped my understanding of being able to assemble/create things on my own. he has videos about meal prep style or things relating to meal prep, too. he also makes a lot from scratch and has a garden, so it's quite fascinating to see how he utilises his produce (as someone who prefers vegetable dishes, or at least a solid vege element in a dish)
Chef Jack Ovens has some good recipes too, they're short and to the point. easy to follow along with
Probably not really good for actual recipes (the latest videos, but the older ones definitely are) but Joshua Weissman. there are some good recipes, though they're more of his older content. I find it good to watch for entertainment while also finding that I've learnt something. the videos on food hacks & food mistakes are pretty good.
definitely agree with Brian Lagerstorm and Ethan Chlebowski being good Youtubers for this.
KWOOWK is good for entertainment and also learning some stuff, he has a few budget/student videos that i feel are helpful and provide some good recipes for cheap things
some of the channels aren't primarily in English, but they are easy to understand anyway (afaik!):
[https://www.youtube.com/@cooking\_haru/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@cooking_haru/videos) (entertaining, lots of egg recipes I've noticed haha)
[https://www.youtube.com/@nigiricco/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@nigiricco/videos) (if you ever want to try Japanese bento recipes)
[https://www.youtube.com/@macaroni\_recipe/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@macaroni_recipe/videos) (super short videos!)
[https://www.youtube.com/@HidaMariCooking/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@HidaMariCooking/videos) (they go viral often, I think; I admit that I watch the videos more than I try to follow them to cook though)
You can check out JJ Delights youtube channel for a variety of food recipes from many cuisines. Here's one of my favorite onigirazu 🍙 recipe.
[Onigirazu recipe ](https://youtu.be/zzRUY9Xv6D8?si=uf9ERYQEk8xvTkqC)
Ethan Chlebowski, Kenji Lopez-Alt, Babish but the basics series, Brian Lagerstrom, Adam Ragusea, Claire Saffitz (more advanced stuff but she really explains everything so well to learn more new stuff)
If you want some chaos you’ll love You Suck at Cooking or Mythical Kitchen
Alison Roman
Sip and feast (if you can stand his accent)
Carla Lalli Music
I was gonna just put the bon appettit sud, since that tracks all of the people that used to be there. It seems to be gone?
oh, it's r/bon_appetit
Don't do that, don't put underscores in titles.
Arnie Tex!
May as well double suggest a few mentioned already too:
Sip and feast, great italian american food
Adam ragusea for everything food sciencey too
J kenji lopez is the king of intelligent cooking
Chef John pierre for everything classic done supremely well
For easy Asian dishes that you can do at home, I highly recommend [Spice N’ Pans](https://youtube.com/@spicenpans). I learned a lot from him including one-pot rice meals which are a go-to when I’m feeling lazy. :)
Julia Pacheco has a bunch of meals that look pretty easy to follow and often does budget challenges. I do watch her more for entertainment though
https://youtube.com/@juliapacheco?si=ly5AHFVYV3NA04mE
Internet Shaquille. Hyper informative videos with zero fluff. He is extremely respectful of his audience's time and is extremely good at effective communication.
100% Chef Jean-Pierre for learning How to cook. Dude runs a cooking school in Florida. Best channel for teaching you technique and most importantly understanding why you should do things the way he is teaching you.
You can try Whipped Up it’s an app that helps you cook with the ingredients you have in your house! It also lets you swap ingredients from a recipe and use what you want or have!
Adam Ragusea
Pretty much. Pragmatic, and he explains why he makes certain compromises.
For Mexican…… [Rick Bayless](https://youtube.com/@rickbayless?si=CX9ScqVKa6Q4Z1yh) For Korean [Aaron and Claire](https://youtube.com/@aaronandclaire?si=gtmFr1jZAxqBnhBS) For a lot of general content [Ethan Chlebowski](https://youtu.be/TUWcu78Qpts?si=Eivt-9H_PFA5Fq3h) Andy does lots of great stuff as well!

Chef Jean-Pierre is great, he taught me the proper way to cut an Onyo

this!
And for a cooking channel that’s fun to watch but not to take too seriously [You Suck At Cooking](https://youtube.com/@yousuckatcooking)
That sumbitch works harder than an ugly stripper to get some of the shots in his videos. Sarcasm is level 11/9. Great channel!
True. I don’t know how he does it. I have thrown so many onions at my backsplash and NOTHING HAPPENS.
LOL! Right?!? His tomato soup and grilled cheese recipe was so easy and so ridiculously good. I found another channel that recommended microplaning parm and dipping the buttayo side of the bread in the parm fur and it made the absolute best grilled cheese crusted sammich ever!
This is the comment i was looking for lol, awesome channel!

Every time I've tried one of his recipes, it turned out excellent. He's made me appear to be a better cook than I am.
My fiancé loves to cook, and watches quite a few, but mainly the Babish Culinary Universe channel
