You don’t even have to cook - Nice Friend has won the hearts of fans with his simple and energetic charisma, and cooking is just an activity through which it manifests itself.

Stalik Khankishiev (formerly Kazan-Mangal)
Also oriental, but more familiar cuisine - Central Asian. Stalik Khankishiev is the author of cookbooks, dishes from which are prepared in a cauldron and on the grill. Mainly Central Asian. If you decide to surprise your loved ones with pilaf, you won’t find better instructions. There are probably about three dozen videos on YouTube about pilaf from Stalik. The link below leads to the chef’s main channel, which contains recipes and other videos, including vlogs and reviews of cookware and other devices like cauldrons.
In addition to the YouTube channel, Stalik has profiles on OK, Instagram and Facebook.
Flynutrition
The blog is dedicated to tasty and healthy food. Denis Semenikhin, the author of the channel, encourages everyone to lead a healthy lifestyle. Tells you how to eat right to stay in shape. Shares information about the components that make up the dish: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, water, vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. and sets out their correct proportional relationship, as well as instructions for use.
Recipes and Reality. Checking recipes
A real detective thriller among culinary channels. What does a recipe from a magazine hide behind its ostentatious simplicity? Inna, the channel's host, checks this, which is why sometimes what happens to most people who use recipes from the magazine happens to her - failure. Inna works out how to avoid it together with the audience - she usually uses recipes for the first time, so everything is fair. Cool screensaver, popular recipes and error analysis.
Channel:

Bon appetit!
The channel is hosted by Irina Podolyan. The girl shares proven and accurate recipes and comments on all her actions. Under each video there is a detailed description of the dish, as well as a complete list of ingredients for its preparation. A huge number of videos about cakes, cookies, biscuits, etc. The simplicity and variety of the menu will help you arrange a luxurious feast.
Sushista School
One of three channels that could very well not be on this list, since they are not so well known or popular. Victor Burda, a sushi chef, has one of the fastest growing channels on Russian Youtube, which demonstrates such results thanks to the specialization of the author. Victor’s channel is an example to all chefs (yes, Stalik’s channel can also be classified as “specialized”, but Stalik was known as a writer before the Internet). If you can do one thing very well, you may be able to interest the viewer in it. Victor, among other things, has an amazing group on VK dedicated to homemade sushi.
Pros:
- sushi making professional;
- great group on VK;
Minuses:
- narrow specialization;
- self-promotion.
Grilkof
Alexey “Grilkoff” is in fifth place here. A blogger from the Leningrad region, specializing in cooking on the grill and on the grill (in winter he cooks mainly in the oven). The most “masculine” content. Lots of meat recipes, various manifestations of the “mix and bake, topped with cheese” style. There is a separate program about strong drinks with an appropriate rating. Reviews of products are also published, similar to the television “test purchase”.
Pros:
- the simplest recipes;
- grill;
Minuses:
- indeed, the simplest recipes;
- lover of drinking and talking about it (18+).
Help with cooking
If you are providing a specific recipe, consider how to help viewers better understand it by applying basic teaching principles.
What to do:
- Clear step-by-step advice – Many food show creators, such as Byron Talbot, clearly show viewers what they are doing by discussing each step in a recipe. At the same time, telling and showing can make learning easier.
- With a presentation of ingredients and tools at the beginning of the film , the MyCupCakeAddiction channel immediately shows viewers everything they will need to prepare the dish.
- Time-lapse visuals - In the case of a cooking video, sometimes it's worth using a time-lapse technique - speeding up some actions or showing some steps in detail.

Recipes step by step by Byron Talbot
Byron Talbot walks viewers through each step in a given recipe while showing close-ups of what he's doing.
MyCupCakeAddiction states the required ingredients right away
At the beginning of the film, the MyCupCakeAddiction channel introduces viewers to all the ingredients needed in a given recipe.
Almette Culinary
Not an advertisement, but rather a way to introduce the reader to a certain “kind” of cooking shows. Various manufacturers of spices, pasta and many other products have completely similar channels. There is no permanent presenter here, and it’s understandable - the main character is the product. This channel was chosen for its universalism, pleasant background music, and outdoor shooting. But its main advantage is the brevity of the video materials. If you are interested in an original recipe, but do not need a story or the charisma of a host, such channels are your choice.
Pros:
- video is shorter than 5 minutes
- beautiful shooting
Culinary propaganda
Dmitry is one of the most respected chefs in the Russian segment of Youtube. Many colleagues admit that they themselves watch his channel. The fact is that “Culinary Propaganda” talks about cooking very deeply, plunging into the scientific component of the process - physical, chemical, sometimes even historical. There are no reviews here, but there are videos about Spain, where the author lives.
Pros:
- attention to detail;
- author's professionalism;
Minuses:
- It can be boring to watch;
- Spanish bias.
Thank you Chief
Ilya Isaakovich Lazerson is a famous chef. Now he works in St. Petersburg, conducts culinary master classes. He worked on TV for many years, hosted several culinary programs on YouTube, and now has settled on his own channel, “Thank You Chef.” Works in tandem with the host, who comments on the cooking process. The content here is specific, the dishes are selected original, recipes are published infrequently. Lazerson's stern professionalism and popularity guarantee the viewer's interest, but not just anyone's.
Pros:
- a real cook;
- there are jokes;
Minuses:
- jokes are borderline and sometimes unfunny;
- the “learn while I live, fool” approach.
