As much as I enjoy nicely produced content most often mentioned here, lately I tend to prefer less-produced videos made by professionals in a field.

When I got interested in Asian cuisine, I learned a lot from Chef Wang Gang, there is a retired F1 engineer called Malcolm Oastler documenting his project of motorbike-powered race car, a Canadian artist David Bull living in Japan and specializing in Japanese poster art. It takes much longer to find them, but I find the results much more satisfying in the long term.




Chef Wang is excellent.

Also highly recommend Chinese Cooking Demystified: an American + Chinese couple living in Guangdong do deep dives into the complexities of regional Chinese specialties.

And for something much lighter but still informative and fun: Blondie in China. Aussie girl fluent in Mandarin exploring all things China.

While we’re talking food: I have learnt so many great techniques from ThatDudeCanCook: if you do no other thing, you should watch his video on preparing filet mignon I never eat out for steak because it’s never as good as what I can make myself.
