There has never been a better time to learn how to cook.

Finding yourself spending countless hours thinking about food in lockdown? Bombarded with snaps from your mates that look like they’ve hired a 5-star chef for iso? Wanting to up your own iso food game, if only to rub it squarely in the face of your friends? Well check this shit below and turn your cheese on toast into… something slightly better… you know… with garnish and stuff.

Nat’s What I Reckon

Struggling with the basics of cooking? Aussie comedian and trade show terrorist Nat’s What I Reckon (definitely not a stage name) has started sharing easy to follow videos that wage war against packet food and jars of bolognese sauce. Since dropping his first episode, Quarantine Sauce, Nat’s videos have picked up tens of millions of streams across Facebook and YouTube and also taught thousands of kitchen-illiterate people how to impress their mates.

Jamie Oliver

There’s a reason why Jamie Oliver has been at the top of the food game since forever. No, it’s not because of his sputtering voice (which kinda grosses me out TBH), it’s because he makes everything seem really simple. Back in the day, you used to have to tune in to one of his shows on TV or stream them from Netflix etc, but now he’s throwing down this shit on Facebook on the reg. He’s even dropping some best of vids as well, like this OG Chineses rib-eye steak:

The Tipsy Bartender

I know what you’re thinking, alcohol is not food. Well, I’m a little tipsy at the moment, so don’t get smug with me dude. The Tipsy Bartender has loads of elaborate cocktails that look more like works of art than you regular weekend slosh, such as their Jack & Coke Gummies or Pineapple Pina Colada Keg. Plus, everyone on the internet is talking about food right now, so a completely over the top drink will give you a lot of clout with your Insta-pals… Double plus, the host is a fucking boss.

Tasty Vegetarian

Ok, so if you don’t follow Tasty on Facebook, you should. They’re owned by Buzzfeed and are the biggest sharer of short, sharp, mouth-watering food vids online. They’re so big that they’ve branched out and made an all vego channel, which is handy if you don’t eat meat and also if you don’t want to come out of iso looking like one of their buffalo wing lasagnas.

Marion Grasby

Have you been sneaking out to Thai restaurants and dining in like I have? No? Good. That was a test. What I’ve really been doing is cooking a bunch of meals from Aussie-Thai chef Marion Grasby’s Facebook page, or at least attempting to… Incorporating flavours and ingredients from all over Asia, Marion’s page is the only thing bringing that variety into my whitebread world right now.
