Cooking
Anti-chef
A self-described "anti-chef" cooks recipes from famous chefs. As fun as it is to watch the professionals, his experiences in the kitchen feel infinitely more relatable to me, and I enjoy watching him fail and improve over time. Also some of those recipes are ridiculous.
Tasting History
Making-of historic dishes along with relevant history.
Mary's Test Kitchen
Vegan recipes along with some fascinating experiments with plant-based ingredients. I love watching her videos on trying to make different kinds of soy-free tofu, even if I'm just going to stick with the traditional stuff myself.
Yeung Man Cooking
An excellent resource for plant-based cooking, despite Wil Yeung not being vegan himself. Calm and to-the-point narration.
