And so many horrid ones, lol. When I google an ingredient for inspiration I often come across youtube links.

Maangchi taught me kimchi. I like Brad and his co-workers at BonApetite. Sauver had some good ones but its been a while since I've checked.

I am most impressed that old episodes of Julia are available now.

I'm mostly into gardening information being early Spring. So I can't think of many cooking ones at the moment.

I like to find the old Nigella and Naked Chef episodes on there, but the copyright narcs keeps flagging the channels down. So I am no help.

I mean,if I could BUY the old episodes that they dont air anymore I would. I love the Nigellas Christmas Kitchen episodes.

I like (or sometimes watch) My Drunk Kitchen

Floyd on Food

Brad Leone

and to a lesser extent: Danny Macs.

I really don't watch that many Youtube cooking videos, but I think I did watch Maangchi's kimchi video and combined that with Danny Macs version.

I'll check out your recommendations. I've mostly seen young people presenting half-assed versions of old style cooking like they'd just invented the pickle. :D

There was a wonderful series of Japanese cooking with authentic Japanese English narration by a young woman, and an older woman cooking. Most of it involved things I'd never cook (like fish (allergic)) and I've forgotten what it was called, but it explained many Japanese techniques that look hard until you see someone's calm granny showing how step by step.

That sounds ageist, but I'm not really other than the basic if you've been cooking for forty years you might know more than someone who has been cooking four years. I find good things in blogs. I just haven't had much luck with YouTube channels.

I like the scrumdiddlyumptious channel. Short, nice music and he cooks, for the most part, on one of those hot pad things. creative. like drunk kitchen tooo ...

I haven't really watched any cooking type YouTube videos, although Elery did get his kimchi recipe from Maangchi. I have watched a few cake decorating videos but never pay attention to what they are called, I just watch them and decide whether I have the ability to do whatever they are doing, LOL.

Didn't know Julia Child is now on there! I remember watching her when I was a young-un. I'll be looking!

I'll also look for a few others of these.

These days I'm mainly catching pointers for homesteading when on YouTube. (Planning on starting quail later this spring, and I'm also getting ready to really weigh into veggie gardening now that I have a yard that actually sees the... sun!

Pillog, I do remember a good one on Japanese cooking, sounds possibly like the one you are talking about. I am mostly interested in learning more and more about Asian cooking these days.

Julia Child's "The French Chef" show reruns (1963 and later). Most episodes are available, starting with episode 1. Live to video tape so oopsies became 'teachable moments'.

I'm quite fond of "Les Carnets de Julie" It's a french show (no subtitles, sorry) that is part chef recipes, part home cook, and part travelogue.

The entire programs are online, as well as excerpts. They put the recipes in the comments section. If only other shows on US TV were so kind.

Thanks, Gooster! I watched part of the one on Nantes and it looks very interesting.

I'll check this later today, Gooster.

I love to watch Rachel Khoo in her tiny Paris kitchen. I admit I've never got cooking under my belt but truly she makes me feel I could do anything she does.

Rachel Khoo cooks Beef Bourginon (spelling)

This is the first episode where you get the tour of that kitchen and she makes Croque Madame. I don't think it's youtube -- but Rachel Khoo has dozens of youtube programs.

Two Greedy Italians! They are both chefs, old friends, had worked out of Italy. They tour Italy, beautiful scenery, they cook SIMPLY. I mean sometimes they have a sterno or something outside and they mix it up, no measurements and you an really follow it. It's a wonderful program.

@bleusblue2 -- I love Rachel Khoo, especially her madeleines with lemon curd. I see her latest venture is with Swedish food, having moved there with her new husband.

"cooking with dog" is good YouTube cooking channel

Really enjoyed the Li Zhi videos. There are so beautifully crafted, like a movie. (I'm also fascinated by the sichuan pepper tree, and found it can be grown in my region)

Cooking with Dog, yes I've watched that!

Going off to check Li Zhi out...

Wow, sleevendog! Subscribed... Makes me want to plant a magnolia tree here...

Sleevendog, you got me completely hooked on li ziqi, but while the latest video is gorgeous, I'd never let her within a mile of any horse of mine.

Beautiful, sleevendog. I like the fountain at 2:54, her pups, the colors and sounds. And she is beautiful.

I get a kick out of Alex! Just a French guy cooking

I like Alex's channel, too, petalique. It was weird when he went to NY, though. Blueberry cinnamon bagels from chains, and those two NYC youtube kids who explained that America has no culinary traditions at all. But I get a kick out of his food engineering.

This is a lovely way to spend some time:

In her 90's, depression era cooking and stories about food growing up in those years.

writersblock — I’ll have to make time to catch his NY trip. Yes, on his food engineering. And I also appreciate his animated postures and expressions.

Would you explain what you meant by this comment? Did she do something wrong?

”I'd never let her within a mile of any horse of mine.”

Oh, I know that guy Alex. Hilarious. I came across him when I was trying to explain rice spring roll wrappers to a friend. He has a part 1 and 2 using them.

She borrowed the horse from her Uncle who lives nearby. I think a horse person trained to ride properly would find flaws, lol.

Seagrass, I watched on of Clara's shows and I love it and her. Thank you.

Would you explain what you meant by this comment? Did she do something wrong?

”I'd never let her within a mile of any horse of mine.”

I realize nobody can do everything, but someone should have pointed out that a horse's mouth is just about as sensitive as yours and the way she hauls on it like it's a runaway truck just makes me wince in sympathy. The most overworked old cart horse would feel that. (Also, wrapping reins around your wrists endangers you, if you should fall.)

There are a lot of silly comments on an earlier video about how she pushes away one of the puppies that tries to climb on her lap when she's cleaning something or paring something, but clearly she doesn't mistreat the dogs because they still want to be all over her whenever they can, and they follow her all over.

So I don't think she's cruel; I just think someone should have explained a few things before letting her borrow the horse. Maybe given her a half- hour riding lesson. The idea is lovely, though. ETA I don't mind her bouncing around like anyone who hasn't done this much; I just mind that her handling of the reins was obviously quite painful to the horse.

You do know that Clara passed away in 2013...sad to see her go! She was great!

Yes, it shows that on her homepage.

Thanks, writersblock. Ouch for the horse. I love horses (love their smell, feel, intelligence), but I don’t know anything about them. I hope someone takes the time to help the young woman and the horse.
