My name is Adam Ragusea. I cook in my house, and I show you how you can too (in your house, not mine). I like to use my head when I cook, but I have no time for being fussy or fancy. I post a recipe video every Thursday, and some other kind of video about food every Monday (usually with...

I can't say that I've ever used Youtube for cooking, but I do own a number of cookbooks. 'The Indian Cooking Course' was the most recent one, but it turns out Indian is too involved for what I have time for.

I have an older edition of the "America's Test Kitchen" cookbook, and it has served me well. Better cooking through science! Also, no cook's library is complete without "On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee.

When it comes to videos, I am continually vexed by Jacques Pepin. He makes it seem so easy. But it's not, because...well...he's Jacques Pepin.

Sasha has no idea who I am, haha, but her presence is known in the Groups and on Pages I follow and post on, over on the Book of Faces. I'm not actually following her blog or YouTube channel.

A couple years ago I took the approach of buying a few classic cookbooks and trying a wide variety of difficult recipes. The idea was to pick up general purpose cooking skills, not dishes. Thanks to Marcella Hazan I've now mastered garlic, and thanks to The Flavor Bible I've mastered seasoning. Get those two skills and you can make anything taste good as long as it's not overcooked.

The Flavor Bible is really worth every penny.

I get a kick out of this guy.

You are missing out. Cultivate some youtube cooking channels and you will have a lot of fun.

I think mypicks are awesome.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

I don't like videos like these as it reminds me that all I can do in the kitchen is follow instructions. I follow them well, often very well. But in the end, I'm just following instructions. I can't cook completely out of the blue. *sigh*
