After a long day at the office, you may think the last thing you want to
do is chop, steam, and stir, when that microwave dinner is two minutes
in the making. But cooking can be therapeutic. And whether you’re a
certified foodie or a comfort food connoisseur, the web is a bountiful
resource of recipes and cooking how-tos.
One spot that shouldn’t be overlooked in this department is YouTube. Printed recipes are fine, but there’s just something about watching food being prepared that can be uniquely instructional and inspiring. You don’t need a four-man camera crew and a dream kitchen to host a cooking show on YouTube. The network has been built by real people making real food, and many have garnered a large online following. We’ve highlighted some of the best below.
