Anyone can post a cooking video on YouTube. Anyone. But, since at least the end of the Pandemic, we're seeing a lot of pros, and a lot of criticisms of people who -frankly- have no idea what they're doing. Especially in the form of "reaction" videos. Jamie Oliver gets roasted because he doesn't do Asian cuisine well, but continues to claim -for example- to be making curry that isn't a real curry (or, more famously, a butter chicken that had no butter). He's one of the more prominent chefs that get blasted for a lack of authenticity, but there are others.

I found the Uncle Roger fan! I think the OG Jamie Oliver fried rice take down is still the best ("Do you hear sizzling? I hear my ancestors crying")

but he's got some great other ones, including a touching Anthony Bourdain tribute video and his back and forth with Gordon Ramsey.

I've been doing some Asian cooking, and learned tons and tons from Youtube. Some of my fave Asian cooking channels:

Chinese Cooking Demystified, by a young-ish couple in China. This one is a treasure trove of Chinese cooking.

Made with Lau. Lau was a Chinese restaurant chef for like 50 years. I figure he knows what he's talking about.
