1. Alex French Guy Cooking

As if learning how to bake your own lemon meringue pie wasn’t enough, his charming accent and quirky humour makes watching his kitchen adventures that much more enjoyable.
2. JunsKitchen
It is a truth universally acknowledged (ok by ‘universally’, we mean Chope) that the two best-loved things in the world are great food and adorable animals. JunsKitchen combines both, as Japanese cook Jun Yoshizuki serves his family – beloved cats included – healthy, delicious, and completely handmade traditional Japanese food. You’ll get to see the entire tantalising process, from picking ingredients and making his own udon to the final product. Not into Japanese food? You should still watch anyway, to catch a glimpse of his fabulous feline Haku hanging around every step of the way.
