Cousin Jim Bob Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Yeah I watched one of his old videos recently and its almost like a different person. Its like he is just playing a character at this point. That character seems like a dickhead too so hope the success has not gone to his head.

He also has recipes for budget meals. Nice bloke.  Everytime he takes a break someone starts a rumour he has died of a heart attack and people run with it. Thankfully he showed up again yesterday for "YOU THE PEOPLE!" after two months missing alive and well with a review of Bubba Balls.

Merzbow Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) This guy's fucking lost it, I can't tell if he was serious with his cooking vids or if it's a long joke but he made well over 100 episodes with most being taken down for some reason. He's the type that would upload multiple videos a day to zero views but there's now a tiny cult like following. Â RINSE THE BEEF!

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 23, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2021 I've been looking at a lot more Persian cooking recently - it always seemed very rich and flavoursome. Also, I found out a few years ago that biriani/biryani is originally a Persian dish, from when my Iranian work colleague at the time brought some in for his lunch and let me try some - definitely a very different flavour from Mauritian biriani, and, I'm sure, probably from sub-continental ones too. The one that's really taken my fancy, and I will be attempting on a Sunday in the near future (mainly because it's a lot of work and takes a while to cook) is Khoresh-e Fesenjoon - a rich duck or chicken stew. Looks amazing. I've looked at several channels' recipes - the most appealing is Middle Eats, from a guy called Obi, who really breaks it down into detail, and talks about potential variants. But there's also the excellent Munchies channel, which has the lovely Farideh Sadeghin. The only downside to this video is that she goes on about how horrible it looks, which I don't really agree with, but when someone repeats it that much, it can get into your brain a bit.

Moderators neil Posted July 30, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2021 Been enjoying "Middle Eats" as a recent discovery https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWj_rUMGYCP0DjffybE2nbg and a channel I've long watched but don't believe mentioned before is "Chinese Cooking Demystified" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC54SLBnD5k5U3Q6N__UjbAw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you'll like this one - this guy's dad has been a chef for over fifty years, so he's filming his dad's classic Chinese recipes, with all the tricks and techniques. Like with Middle Eats, the esteemed Mr. Lau is brilliant at breaking things down and explaining why to do or not do things a certain way, and the channel overall just has this lovely feelgood, family factor between the guy, his dad, and the rest of the family, who all get a bit of input.

Moderators neil Posted August 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2021 Simple channel but quite relaxing, lots of Grandad jokes. He does make me think that he might do a video for a cup of beans, maybe he'll put a sausage in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when I'm looking for a specific recipe, particularly sweet stuff, either he or Keefcooks will pop up. Both inoffensive but unspectacular. I find them more useful than entertaining if honest.

All the "papa love you", "absolutely unit" of a shite english accent, and singing have made his videos a bore for me and I question whether any of his recipes are any good these days. Yeah officially done with him now. His channel has fully gone from great technique videos to just meme shit, a recent video I watched which I found myself just doing "because" featured him doing the stupid falsetto singing stuff 4 times. Obviously its working for him, but not what I'm interested in, he's not even making anything interesting these days either just whatever will get the views (fast food remakes etc). Couple other ramen channels I've been getting into recently: Ramen Kaonashi https://www.youtube.com/c/RAMENKAONASHI - extremely detailed and time consuming recipes for the most part, but very inspiring and would be tempted to do if I wasn't so lazy Way of Ramen https://www.youtube.com/c/WayofRamen/ - much more approachable as far as time and complexity as he's a home cook, but he does a good job with using better technique than any other videos on ramen from the "big youtubers".
