    Lots of people are recommending YouTube for learning recipes. That’s great advice, but carefully vet what channels you view. Lot’s of creators are interested in views, not education. Those recipes often gloss over important steps or are altogether fake. Avoid big personalities who make gimmicky dishes with exotic ingredients.

    I can recommend Chef John, Kenji Lopez-Alt, Ethan Chlebowski, and Helen Rennie.

      Brian Lagerstrom is great too. I combined parts of his and chef John’s chili technique to win a local chili cook off!

      if you’re looking to get into BBQ, then Chef Tom from All Things BBQ (atbbq) and Bradly Robbins (Chudds BBQ) are some of the finest BBQ tutorials on youtube.

      I second chef John. I love Kenji too, but his videos are not polished enough to be good for beginners. John provides all the detail you need in an easy to follow fashion which is great for beginners. His channel is called Food wishes for anyone looking for him since chef John might be too vague.

      Not familiar with the others but if they’re mentioned in the same breath as them then I’ll definitely want to check them out!
