Chefs have been recording and sharing recipes
since Roman times when, in the late fourth century, the Apicius was compiled
for use in the kitchen. Through the centuries, documenting and distributing
cooking techniques has evolved from print, to broadcast, to YouTube where a
thriving epicurean community has emerged.
On YouTube, there is a vibrant community
sharing recipes, exchanging techniques and updating the culinary landscape.
Professional and everyday chefs are taking their place in the spotlight by
showcasing their talent and passion for food. Many of these progressive people
turn a video camera on themselves while they cook in their home kitchens and,
through their YouTube videos, share their recipes with the world. Others from
across the globe try these dishes, comment on them via text and response
videos, and even offer their own suggestions.
At all times, YouTube offers a single place to
turn for every kind of recipe imaginable, from quick chocolate chip cookies to
an impressive croque monsieur. Parents coming home from work may not have time
to whip up a seven course dinner, but they can go to YouTube to watch a short
video and get advice from other parents who have tips for making speedy meals.
Meanwhile, those who are interested in gourmet can find easy to follow videos
featuring elaborate and elegant fare.
Using YouTube, you can find detailed
instructions and visual demonstrations that will allow you to cook complex
dishes or transport yourself to another continent. For example, spice lovers
will be amazed at the amount of traditional Indian food recipes we have found
on the site!
