3 binge-worthy YouTube cooking shows

This may seem strange because I’m not sure anyone else does this…but my husband and I watch YouTube on our television in our living room. Here are our favorite YouTube cooking shows to watch – and we’ve tried a lot of these recipes!

favorite YouTube cooking shows

1 . Sam the Cooking Guy

Sam is entertaining to watch and his recipes are incredible. We’ve made this incredible bolognese sauce in our cast-iron skillet (which is one of the best kitchen gifts my husband ever got for me after watching this YouTube channel!)

We even purchased his cookbook- all of the recipes are easy to make, delicious, and use the leftovers in different ways which is such a great concept for a cookbook.

This cookbook is perfect for families – the food is incredible, and each recipe has different variations so you can use the leftovers for a completely different and delicious meal the next day. True story: I bought the cookbook for my husband for Christmas. He bought it for me. We’ve loved all of the recipes! Sam the Cooking Guy’s Recipes with Intentional Leftovers is available on Amazon.

2. Binging with Babish

These are entertaining videos. His style of talking and throwing in dead-pan jokes while cooking is fun to watch even if you never want to make the recipe.

3. FlavCity

Bobby Parrish’s healthy recipes have a lot of flavor. The FlavCity tacos and tangy green beans are two of our favorites that we’ve made again and again. If you follow him on Instagram, you’ll fall in love with his baby girl Rose Honey who cooks with him. She’s so cute!! And will make you want to get your kids in the kitchen with you!
