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:...
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.
