3 foodie YouTube channels you need to pay attention to

Need that recipe that’s just right for your next dinner party? Are you tired of all those options on food television and the expensive ingredients required? Do you want something a little more genuine and easy to follow? (Sorry to sound like an infomercial host.) How about these 3 foodie YouTube channels to help kick your next dinner party into third gear?

For epic recipes and an enjoyable time, these days YouTube is full of great channels that are all about bringing you the best recipes in existence—sometimes even new ideas never before thought of.

Want a recipe for your next shindig? Try one, or all three of these YouTube channels for great cooking tips and recipes.

And of course you have your big budget channels that have like a zillion viewers from all over the world, and they’re great and all, but sometimes you kind of lose something in the process…that passion about what it’s all about in the first place, or should be all about: The food, the recipes, and what they mean to the people showing them off…

Let’s face it, these huge channels that usually get a trillion views these days are pretty much all the same: Same tonality, same delivery, the host doing their best to be funny…a little bit of acting thrown in, and that genuine factor I was talking about earlier kind of gets lost in the process. Sometimes you want to listen to someone that’s a little closer to, well…you, and that’s G-E-N-U-I-N-E.

If you look to the days before YouTube and internet sensations, what made a great performer adored by millions was that genuine factor that shone through all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Again, there’s nothing wrong with the big budget YouTube channels, and even their recipes are great, but today, I thought we could concentrate on those quality channels that are putting forth a great product, and in the end are delivering what you want in the first place…that one recipe that’ll go over well next time you invite the in-laws over for a meal; that one recipe that will make them all nod and rub their bellies in utter happiness.

Don’t always go for the Yankees. Sometimes The Mets are playing better ball. Sorry for the sports analogy. I can’t help it, though, because as I’ve said before, friends and readers, I’m also a sports writer. But back to the point at hand…

Love What UEAT

Enter this mother and daughter team of YouTube chefs. Talk about genuine and not trying too hard at all. They’re just being themselves and putting forth what are in fact genuine article recipes from their family table. Their interactions are genuine and you don’t get that rehearsed awkward look that a lot of these channels can sometimes have.

Are we talking about the esthetics of a product here? Yes. I mean not everyone wants to see good old Uncle Rolfe, wiping his hands on a dirty apron, huffing his handlebar mustache out of place every time he takes a breath.

Here instead with Love What UEAT, the recipes are delicious, and what you’re getting is what you essentially were looking for. The recipes work, they’re explained properly and at the same time you get a genuine pair of ladies that know how to speak in front of a camera—the videos entertaining as well. Take that Food Network.

Myself, there’s a reason I’m a writer folks…in front of the camera as these ladies are, I’d perhaps look as genuine or at home as Chandler Bing posing for a photo (you Friends fans will know what I’m talking about).

Anyways, give this channel a try. You won’t be disappointed. Recipes to most definitely entice you to visit: The Mini Walnut Tarts (OMG), what they call La Famosa Torta Di Nonna Parete (her grandma’s famous coffee cake) (OMG²)… and so many more.

Chef Clemenza

Sorry to stick to Italian cuisine here, folks, but really…do I need to convince you how great Italian cuisine really is? I didn’t think so. And really, you can never have enough recipes in your arsenal, and this man is doing it right.

If he looks familiar to you, that’s because he is. He was a contestant on Hell’s Kitchen and although he had quite the dirty apron on the show, Chef Ramsay giving him quite a hard time about it, he’s spic and span on his YouTube channel and his experience in classic Italian restaurants shines through.

He too is great in front of the camera. He’s at home in front of it in fact, and is quite hilarious and charismatic. He’d be right at home in a De Niro movie I’d say…you know the ones I’m talking about. But the chef’s life he chose and he launched this YouTube channel; he offers up some really great recipes…home cooking with those restaurant tips only a classically trained chef can provide.

Stand out recipes on his channel include Italian Gyro, yes Italian, a very classic pasta fasul (pasta with beans), and his Sunday Dinner with Chef Clemenza is entertaining and informative to watch.

You get to see him interacting with his family and like the ladies above, it adds to the experience. Food brings people together, and prepping food does as well; it’s not just the eating that does it. Hence why the Food Network and PBS cooking shows have always done well.

CH Secret Recipes

And for something a  little different, or perhaps a whole heck of a lot different, this channel is offering up some great recipes as well, and no not Italian food. This channel here will have you cooking Asian recipes the likes of which you’ve only ever enjoyed at a restaurant. The techniques are simple and here the videos are so straight forward and simple to follow too.

You absolutely will not be disappointed. Recipes that stand out are: Stir Fried Sweet Potato Noodles, Chinese Yam Pork Ribs Soup (perfect for those cold, cold days ahead), Fried Daikon Meatballs, and even a recipe for a keto-friendly sausage gravy and biscuit cake, for those so keto-inclined.

Trust me, dear readers, these three channels have the recipes you need to impress your friends and/or in-laws…heck maybe even that special someone.

Try the recipes out and let us know how they go, and oh yeah…don’t forget to subscribe to the above channels; especially if the recipes get you some hard earned brownie points along the way.
