I like to watch cooking videos, but am really annoyed by the cook wasting time with shit that's not relevant to what they're fixing. I don't care about your granny in the old country, or you friends, or your faggotty crotch fruit.

Chef John from Food Wishes as got it right. He interjects a little humor but stays focused on what he's doing.



When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw

Hell, text recipes online are just as bad. You have to wade through 3 pages of bloviating about random topics/memories/feelings/opinions (interspersed with ads) before getting to the actual nuts and bolts of the recipe.

I don't give a damn about how this recipe reminds you of the warm feeling of summer days on your Pop-Pop's farm. I just want to know how to cook it.

The "That Dude Can Cook" guy makes a nice video. Not too much chatter.

You're talking about the ladies with their blog pages? I feel your pain.

Maybe you already know this, but most of them are kind enough to put a "jump to recipe" box to click on to avoid that touchy feely stuff.

Or their faggotty crotch fruit! Big Grin

I always look for a 'Print Recipe' button, which cuts all of the talky parts out & give you just the ingredients & steps.

Follow Ruby Day, you won't care one bit about her dragging out the recipe, in fact, you probably won't even remember what she cooked...

There's a recipe manager app called Paprika that you would love. I heard about it here, and it has become my absolute favorite app. It has a browser and recipe manager component. Put the URL of the recipe in the browser, load the page, and click save. It will pull the recipe and directions out and save them for you. No more reading 3 pages of their life story to find the recipe, and it's available offline for future use.

The free version does just about everything, but I think the small fee for the full version is absolutely worth it. It gives you multi device support as well as cloud backup and sync for your recipes.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

It's horrible, I can't stand it, I usually fast forward them. In print ones it's annoying as hell to scroll through 30 paragraphs of back story. I don't care if your Nana brought the recipe from the old world and has been passed through three generations, just give me ingredients, prep, and cook time/temp.

Agreed Chef John is awesome.

Chef John is great. I'll watch Malcom BBQ all kinds of stuff. Adam Ragusea(sp?) is pretty good and injects a bit of humor.
Billy Parisi is pretty straight forward in cooking.
I'll watch most and just tune out what I don't want to hear.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

Looked forward to watching her. The Brits would call her a saucey mint. Now Giada De Laurentiis I could watch with the sound down.

Since I don’t cook, I watch cooking shows for the entertainment which is the chit chat for me. Rachel Ray used to be good at it. Now, she’s not. Worse was Yan can cook who thought he was entertaining with his cutting skills (he wasn’t) and his “talk” consisted of describing what he was doing. “Now, I’m chopping the vegetables so chop, chop, chop... chop, chop, chop....”



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
