cooking videos

[Smilla]

Lately, I find myself gravitating towards cooking shows, mostly older ones, on YouTube as a way to relax.

Here are a couple of my favorites.
Please post yours.

This lady is wonderful. And the way she interacts with her sons is hilarious. Sadly, Auntie Fee passed away.

Twitch had a long marathon of Julia Child videos. Her videos are super relaxing and ASMR to the ears. Something about the way she does things so smoothly and talks just shoots tingling feelings in me. Been awhile since I've heard of her name until now though.

It's really funny to see how Italians get offended when someone does not make it the traditional way. :)

I like Jamie Oliver

It is. Cream can go in anything in my book, within reason.

Heavy cream actually has less calories than butter or olive oil!

I hope this doesn't derail the thread too much because it's not exactly cooking but here's how the Japanese make their cocktails.
(One does have an egg in it, Does that count?)

ASMR doesn't get much better imo (no offence Bob Ross.)

No commentary, no music, no flashy camera movements.
Only the delightful sounds of bottles and cocktail shakers.

I love how seriously they take their craft and how concentrated they are.
I would also love to taste but alas.

I can easily watch half an hour of this and just doze off.

I do too. I like the California Ranch brand.

Did you know a lot of olive oil is fraudulent? An entire book was devoted to the crimes of the olive oil industry, esp in Italy where they often use motor grade oil and dye it greenish to make it look real and then slap a label of the Tuscan countryside on a pretty bottle with a big price tag.

This book reads like a thriller. I read it years ago.

I heard something, but I wasn't really aware of that. I usually buy Spanish olive oil: 'La Española'. I don't trust pretty bottles :)

This is incredible. Only in Japan.

This forum really needs a general ASMR thread :)

I've seen his videos. He's awesome. I think in one of them he travels to Naples and tries one of the emblematic pizzas there :)

Loved this guy. My Mom has all of his cookbooks, and often cooked from the "China, Greece, Rome" one.

I have several of my grandmother's Graham Kerr cookbooks... they're a hoot!
