7 Best YouTube Channels to Learn to Fix Yourself Quick Meals

YouTube is home to numerous cooking-related videos. They're not all great, like everything else on the internet, but the greatest ones will entertain you while teaching you the fundamentals of cooking and help you advance your culinary education. These seven YouTube cooking channels are great places to start if you want to improve your culinary knowledge and abilities. They'll come in handy whether you need a recipe to prepare a lavish hog roast for your complete family or are only looking to learn the proper way to slice an onion (of salt).

1.Maangchi

In addition to being the YouTube queen of Korean food, Maangchi, whose real name is Emily Kim, is also likely the YouTube queen of all food. Maangchi, who is well-known for her glitzy headpieces, kind on-screen demeanor, and unwavering devotion to traditional Korean cuisine, will either impart fresh knowledge or satisfy a strong nostalgia. Moreover, she has amazing eye makeup skills.

2.Tasty

By using its recognizable overhead filming technique, which is now used everywhere, Buzzfeed's Tasty revolutionized the cooking video industry. Tasty's specialties on the platform include cooking using pantry items (in one tutorial, producer Katie Aubin creates a dessert using just pantry products), and gadget reviews, which assist viewers in determining which specialty kitchen tools are effective time-savers and which aren't.

3.J. Kenji López-Alt

Award-winning cook and The Food Lab author J. Kenji López Alt also manage a YouTube channel with a ton of educational, simple-to-follow POV recipe videos. The channel's "late night" cookery pieces in particular are what we enjoy watching. No, we haven't (yet) created late-night mac & cheese this amazing, but López-Alt gives us confidence that we can. And we'll never reheat pizza in a method other than a skillet. And as a bonus, dogs continue to make an appearance in every video, a blessing!

4.N.Y. Times Cooking

The NYT Cooking subscription is a paid one, but it's a good idea! The NYT Cooking YouTube channel, however, is open to all viewers. There are endless mouth-watering macro images and all of your favorite Alison Roman recipes, as well as a culinary video wonderland. You may even feel motivated to bake a batch of exquisite Christmas cookies in the middle of spring. In addition, there are many entertaining non-recipe one-offs, such as Melissa Clark's non-judgmental and genuinely practical advice to consuming less meat in 2020 and a tour of baker Erin Jeanne McDowell's kitchen.

5.Steve the Bartender

The YouTube channel of Australian mixologist Steve Roennfeldt features every single cocktail recipe you could conceive, from traditional martinis to obscure concoctions with names like Pink Panther's Milk and Missionary's Downfall. I still have a lot to learn from Steve, as you can probably tell. On the site of the channel, videos are also categorized by spirit, which is beneficial for those who desire a cocktail but only have one bottle of old gin in their apartment.

6.Binging with Babish

You may be familiar with Andrew Rea's cooking channel from its meticulous recreations of well-known meals from motion pictures and television shows. But the "Basics with Babish" YouTube channel is also where you can get wholly original recipes for everyday foods like chili, carbonara, and latkes. For those who wish to learn how to follow a recipe as well as how to improvise meals in the future, Rea makes sure to explain the purpose of each component.

7.Bon Appétit

The Bon Appétit test kitchen employees have become well-rounded online superstars courtesy of shows like "Gourmet Makes" and "Back-to-Back Chef." If you don't want to make Doritos from scratch, there are still a lot of helpful cooking tips on the channel. There is a lot to learn on this channel, and you get to do it with all your favorite test kitchen stars like Claire Saffitz, Molly Baz, Brad Leone, and the rest. Examples of pantry staple dishes include pasta with tomatoes and chickpeas, as well as fundamental skills like sharpening kitchen knives.
