personal preference
number 10 Byron Talbott warming up our
list is Byron Talbott who’s worked at
famous restaurants like boo Shum under
Thomas Keller rarely do we see a tenth
entry on top axe that looks this good
Byron’s videos at least his recent
releases are all beautifully shot and
carefully edited and then from there you
can really cut it into any size that you
want here I’m just going to cut a nice
little wedge and that’s it guys all
there is to do is enjoy a delicious
piece of baumkuchen cake the only thing
that really breaks this professional
veneer is the voiceover but that in turn
adds a sort of unassuming charm and
completes the very tight package hey
what’s going on everybody today I’m
going to show you guys how to make an
omelet I used to make these every single
day or actually every single Sunday for
Saturday Sunday brunch at Bouchon barely
Hills while all cooks like to experiment
Byron specializes in bookending your day
with breakfasts and desserts cakes and
cookies waffles and omelets his channel
is the one to check out if you want to
make something special to start
someone’s day or to end the perfect meal
baumkuchen
actually means tree cake in German and
obviously can tell by the layerings of
the cake the inspiration behind the
dessert was from a tree number 9 simple
cooking channel true to its name simple
cooking channel is a channel about
simple cooking hamburgers chicken
nuggets pizza sauce those of you that
are feeding picky eaters or just
beginning to try your hand at cooking
would be good to start here today I’m
gonna show you how I make a three
ingredient chicken casserole this is
really easy really simple so yummy three
ingredient peanut butter cups three
ingredient chicken casserole and yes two
ingredient in the telic and if you wish
to sprinkle it just all around it like
that go for it it’s what I like to do
other thing our anonymous Australian
host specializes in is candy
he has videos for how to make bubble gum
how to make fudge or even how to make
gummy bears well I hope you like my
homemade gummy bears that’s so many yeah
number eight cookies cupcakes and cardio
continuing in our trend of channels that
tell you what they contain
we have cookies cupcakes and cardio
you’ll never guess what they feature so
we’re heading out on a backpack baking
adventure and we’re going to be making
bear poop cookies we’ll get to those
first two things in a second but let’s
address that cardio bit first Jen the
host claims that she likes to break up
her videos with taking hiking trips to
encourage a well-rounded lifestyle we’re
a few yards in off the trailhead here in
southeast corner of British Columbia
we’re going to be headed up by right
behind me to that Bluff which is locally
known as the Butte admittedly these
hiking trips have taken a backseat to
the cookies and cupcakes lately but
still makes for a catchy name so there
you go everybody how to make a turkey
out of cake as you can see here along
the sides of the turkey and the back and
the front here I’ve added the little
peas and carrot actually to be more
specific the recent focus is on
decorated cakes bright colors and fancy
themes abound many of her cakes don’t
even look like cakes so there you go
everybody how to make a giant peanut
butter and jelly sandwich cake this is a
really fun one to put together I hope
you enjoyed learning how to do that
today number seven Gordon Ramsay bout
time I’m always talking here on topics
about how this or that channel looks
professional but here we have a channel
that’s run by someone who’s as
professional as it could possibly get is
called Ramsay a welcome to my youtube
channel now as you know there are the
most amazing videos that you can
actually watch from all those cooking
tips get great insights how to make that
perfect dinner if you’re familiar with
Ramsay’s brash style you won’t be
surprised to know that the videos are
very fast into the point they’re
definitely aimed at those with a bit
more experience and they have no intro
no banter it’s just go go go cook cook
cook tablespoon of olive oil onions and
garlic into the pan a nice seasoning
salt
those of you that don’t have a lot of
experience or don’t have access to
really exotic ingredients might find
these videos a bit dizzying they’re not
particularly complex though as the speed
is meant to emphasize how simple they
are so if you fancy yourself a bit of an
expert there are tons of quick and
delicious looking recipes to be found
here and you know they’re coming from
the best just finish it with a little
tablespoon of that sauce and there is
one tasty very well textured spicy beef
salad
number six food wishes okay remember
when I said that Ramsay’s videos are
really to the point and feature no
banter well our next entry chef John and
his channel food wishes is the exact
opposite he’s all about the chatter even
if you never see him how to do a
boneless whole turkey that’s right this
is the Thanksgiving video everybody’s
been waiting for and by everyone I mean
two or three people but that’s okay
food wishes it’s sort of like a library
of recipes the channel is carefully
divided into playlists for almost any
occasion or mealtime that means he has
lists for general things like soup side
dishes or pasta as well as lists for
occasions like the fourth of July or
Thanksgiving that’s right I’m finally
making public the secret food wishes
version for this iconic Thanksgiving
dessert and no matter how dry your
turkey is or how lumpy your gravy if you
put this out for dessert all will be
forgiven
food wishes also posts a heck of a lot
they publish videos two to three times a
week making them one of the most
prolific channels you’ll see today
number five Niko’s kitchen our next pick
is Nicko’s kitchen hosted by YouTube’s
own celebrity chef Nico welcome to
Nicko’s kitchen one of the world’s
largest online cooking communities
Nico’s channel is a very professional
look and features a huge variety of
dishes what’s funny is that he sort of
specializes in two things that are
almost complete opposites the first is
vegetarian dishes Nico’s vegetarian
playlist has about forty videos probably
more love for herbivores than any other
chef or Channel we’ve seen today and
that smoky pumpkin say that creamy feta
there it’s all working away and the
freshness of that tomato and basil
is just an absolute match made in heaven
this is kind of funny when you compare
it to the other thing that Niko’s
channel specializes in which is homemade
versions of fast food items essentially
if it appears in the first half of an
antacid commercial he’d probably teach
you how to make it Krispy Kreme
Doughnuts KFC fried chicken or even a
McDonald’s Big Mac now you don’t have to
choose between going out and staying in
but you still have to cook number 4
jamie oliver foods – next up we have
another channel belonging to in named at
least a real-life celebrity chef yes
it’s that guy your mom probably has a
crush on Jamie Oliver what up foodtubers
okay mr. Oliver here today we’re gonna
cook scrambled eggs three ways as is to
be expected from someone who has an
empire of cooking shows and cookbooks
Jamie Oliver’s channel foodtube has a
ton of variety and production value
listening off all the types of things
that he and his impressive array of
guests hosts show you how to do would
take all day but suffice to say fans of
dedicated food channels on TV will feel
right at home on foodtube I would say
the best bacon in the world
definitely definitely come from grilled
bacon much like food wishes a good way
to navigate Jamie’s channel if you’re
looking for something specific is to
check out his list of playlists the list
of lists is impressive in and of itself
and is a great way to check out
everything the channel has to offer at a
glance you can just chop up some
coriander lime you can just squeeze that
over the top yeah throw some fresh
chilies in there number three how to
cook that this channel hosted by ann
reardon shows you how to cook that and
by that I mean desserts it’s always
desserts welcome to how to cook that I’m
Ann Reardon and today we’re making this
lovely Louis Vuitton Alma baby alligator
skin handbag cake as is the custom with
dessert channel’s many of Ann’s desserts
don’t end up looking like desserts a
hamburger a hand bank or even a
giant-sized converse allstar choux and
of course you knew they need to add
another lace on the other side
I didn’t lace right up to the top
grommet you can if you like I’ve just
gone for the one below it as a fun side
note one other thing that Ann
specializes in is giant sized candy bars
she not only teaches you how to
cook and prepare them but also how to
make giant sized wrappers to package
them in after she’s done she gives away
the dessert to those who are
contributing to society in a big way a
little donation for you to help you on
your next trip to Fiji yeah we also have
a German twisted oh my gosh that is
amazing so you got a buddy that really
likes kid cat bars
you should check her channel out number
two my cupcake addiction you’ll never
guess what Elyse Hoffman makes on this
channel and if you haven’t figured it
out by now I’m not gonna tell you
seriously though it’s not all cupcakes
though most of the things have cake in
the name so cupcakes cakes or cake pops
though she does things like milkshakes
and chocolate bars – hey guys it’s Elyse
welcome back to my cupcake addiction
today we’re gonna be making an amazing
giant Twix no Baker slice like how to
cook that and cookies cupcakes and
cardio this is a channel that focuses on
decorating your desserts and making them
look incredible she has a whole list of
candy bar inspired cakes and she does
the giant candy bar thing – I really
didn’t know that was a thing until we
started this one of her more notable
playlists is her no bake playlist
currently sitting at 28 videos this is a
list of recipes that will never require
you to turn on your oven love this
because it’s no bake so anyone can make
it and because of the giant Twix so
anyone can eat it let’s get started
before we serve up our top pick here are
a few honorable mentions
number one Laura in the kitchen while
many of the channels we’ve seen today
specialize in helping you do really
unique things
Laura shines in helping you do this
simple homemade pizza fettuccine alfredo
mac and cheese if you want to master the
basics this is probably the first place
to check now I’m just going to take some
other bread crumbs you can use fresh
bread crumbs if you wanted to you could
use panko if you wanted to it’s
completely up to you but I’m just gonna
use good old bread crumbs cuz that’s
just what I got and that’s what I prefer
there’s nothing particularly fancy about
Loras videos but that doesn’t mean
there’s not left to love for one thing
pick out a lot of personality
Laura host the videos herself and she’s
on camera the whole time talking to you
the viewer in a friendly and informal
way which may be why she’s recently
secured her own TV show on The Cooking
Channel with over 700 videos at a
million followers web sensation Laura
Vitale feeling right at home on her new
Cooking Channel series smelling like my
Nonna’s kitchen in here
Rouge Saturday September 27 most
importantly though Laura’s just got the
most videos remember when I said she’ll
help you with the basics well learning
all of the basics might take you a while
for breakfast playlist has over 60
recipes her main dishes list has over
200 and her desserts ensuite list has
over 250 look at that they are just so
perfectly cooked
