Hi What are your favourite cooking youtubers? on the other hand do you have some youtubers you despise or don’t understand the appeal of? I’ll be first:
- SAM THE COOKING GUY - i like his style
- Brian Lagerstrom - i like his style too
- Vito Iacopelli - hyperactive pizzaiolo, helped me elevate my pizza game
- Adam Ragusea - has some interesting ideas
following guys normalized experimenting with food for me:
it’s Joshua Weissman i don’t like, dunno, dude’s over the top, also i cannot fathom how he has over 8M subs
I like the style of J. Kenji LĂłpez-Alt.
This is my favorite way to learn, he’s just making a meal for himself or his family and talking through the process and considerations.
A bit different - Tasting History with Max Miller https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsaGKqPZnGp_7N80hcHySGQ
Also a bit different - Atomic Shrimp https://www.youtube.com/user/AtomicShrimp - not purely a cooking channel, but he has some interesting cooking videos.
How nobody had mentioned Internet Shaquille is beyond me: https://youtube.com/@internetshaquille
In no particular order, and probably forgetting a bunch:
Claire Saffitz - https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz
Love Claire, been following her since the Bon Appétit days, she is just amazing.
Emmy from Emmymade - https://www.youtube.com/@emmymade
Funny, adorable, makes lots of weird stuff.
Ann Reardon (How To Cook That) - https://www.youtube.com/@HowToCookThat
Not exclusively a cooking channel, but everyone should be subbed.
Nate From the Internet - https://www.youtube.com/@NFTI
Formerly of TKOR/The King of Random, not a cooking channel but he does food comparison videos and the like.
The Kitchen & Jorn Show - https://www.youtube.com/@kitchenandjorn
Kristin and Jen (formerly of Buzzfeed) typically doing cooking competitions (and food taste tests)
Don’t Panic Pantry - https://www.youtube.com/@dontpanicpantry
Featuring Noah Galuten, chef and author and a former host on the youtube channel Tasted (if anyone’s memories go back that far lol).
Jun’s Kitchen - https://www.youtube.com/@JunsKitchen/
Jun’s (from Rachel & Jun) channel where he mostly makes different treats and meals for their kitties. Doesn’t post often.
Ordinary Sausage - https://www.youtube.com/@OrdinarySausage
Nothing educational lol
Travel Thirsty - https://www.youtube.com/@TravelThirstyBlog
A non-narrated vlog showing up close and personal the creation of mostly Asian dishes from start to finish in various restaurants and countries. CW: Live sea animals (fish, crustaceans, and the like) are frequently dispatched during videos, viewer discretion is advised for those who do not wish to view it.
Masaru - https://www.youtube.com/@masaru.9268
Masaru, a free dive fisherman and new business owner details his life and adventures in Japan from catching, cleaning, and eating all sorts of different sea life he mostly catches himself. Videos are subtitled perfectly and he puts a lot of production value. Also occasionally does random challenge video series.
B. Dylan Hollis - https://www.youtube.com/@BDylanHollis
Cause we’ve all seen the Tiktok’s by now, and he’s genuinely hilarious.
Won’t bother adding any I don’t like cause if I don’t like em, I forget em lol.
I love Emmymade. She seems so nice and upbeat in her videos and she covers so many recipes, most of which are very doable or at least weird and interesting(like her hard times stuff). I also like how normal she is in the kitchen. At this point I dont know how much of it is manufactured to make her more “relatable” and how much are organic kitchen errors but it gives her this very normal enthusiastic person just cooking vibe that I dig.
Ann Reardon is another fave. From her tiny miniature(as in model miniature) house with functional kitchen, to her genuinely good looking recipes, to her popular debunking series. Everything she creates is well researched and well tested.

You Suck at Cooking is more like a cooking-themed entertainment channel than an actual cooking channel, but its a lot of fun. I think he makes cooking very approachable to people who have never set foot in a kitchen.
