So I moved out recently and discovered I pretty much only know how to prepare scrambled eggs and smoothies.

I’ve been trying to find cool cooking resources online, but most feel like are just either clickbait or advertising me a lot of garbage (that vibe reminds me of toxic fitness channels).

Any good resources you guys may know? It doesn’t necessarily have to be YouTube channels, extra points if it has beginner level recipes, easily findable ingredients or it’s funny to follow. Thanks! :)

    I recommend Pick Up Limes. Great (vegan) recipes and tips along the way.

    I don’t care much for her mindfulness and lifestyle videos but those are easily skippable. And she did unfortunately release an app recently, so of course she will try to get you to download that.

    Alex does mostly simple recipes, but he’s interesting because he doesn’t just try once but keeps remaking the recipe until he gets it perfect and explains the whole process and all the details.

    ANTI-CHEF does very fancy recipes from a beginner’s perspective. He shows off a lot of techniques that a more professional chef might gloss over as obvious.

    Internet Shaquille is something that hasn’t been mentioned yet that I think really resonates with what you’re looking for. All of his videos are short, focused, and aimed at helping regular people in the kitchen (with the exception of his April Fools videos, which satirize clickbait videos). There is some humor, but the information density of his videos reflects his ethos of not wanting to waste your time. To this end, sponsor reads appear at the end of the video (if they’re sponsored at all), so you can completely skip them.
