Forget Game of Thrones. This is my jam. YouTube cooking shows. I've always been interested in food and YouTube has helped me become a pretty decent home cook. I can pretty much cook a restaurant-quality meal for my friends and family without really knowing a recipe, just by learning techniques and base recipes from YouTube.
So, with that in mind, show me your favorite YouTube cooking/food channels. I'm not gonna include huge channels like BonAppetit, Babish or SeriousEats, because everybody knows them already.
1. Chef Clayton Chapman
This is one of the most underrated channels (food or otherwise) on YouTube. This dude is super talented and very likable. I like a show that doesn't just focus on recipes, but also techniques, pantry prep and so on.
2. The Townsends
Bit of a weird one, but I love this channel. It's basically a show that deals with 18th century lifestyle and cooking. They make old-ass recipes from the civil war, medieval europe and much more, using the same ingredients and techniques as they did back then. It's really interesting to see how certain things have remained the same for hundreds of years, and how people still enjoyed a lot of the same stuff we eat today.

Probably the most well known in this list, but I'm gonna include it because Chef John is awesome. This guy has taught me so much about basic cooking, using tried and true french techniques and base recipes that will benefit your cooking immensely. He's also pretty funny in an awkward dad-humor kinda way (the joke at the start of the above video is a good example). See if you like it. After all, you are the Tom Cruise of which cooking channel to use.
