So I moved out recently and discovered I pretty much only know how to prepare scrambled eggs and smoothies.
I’ve been trying to find cool cooking resources online, but most feel like are just either clickbait or advertising me a lot of garbage (that vibe reminds me of toxic fitness channels).
Any good resources you guys may know? It doesn’t necessarily have to be YouTube channels, extra points if it has beginner level recipes, easily findable ingredients or it’s funny to follow. Thanks! :)

You Suck At Cooking has a lot of meals in a fun format, Adam Ragusea? I think that’s how you spell it, is pretty good too, longer videos and less on the meals themselves and more learning about food in general.
I just so happen to have a good friend that has been working on his own cooking show for years. It’s definitely a passion project of his and I’d love it for him to get more exposure. Caveman Cooking is the name and it’s definitely worth checking out!

If you want to get into baking John Kirkwood videos are really good. https://www.youtube.com/@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade
His Sandwich bread made easy at home is one of my favorits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWpSbYV96_c
I have also followed a few videos from Natashas Kitchen that have turned out well. https://www.youtube.com/@Natashaskitchen/videos
And on a more funny note multi-millionare twitch streamer Asmongold demonstrates how to cook a $2 stake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hETgbsF5yY8

Speaking as someone that started with little experience, I love Adam Ragusea and Pro Home Cooks. Both explain things you never thought to ask about cooking and concepts that you can apply across lots of different dishes. I’ve learned things that I still continue to think about long after watching whenever I’m making up some food :)
You suck at cooking is a great option, he also has a recipe book. Binging with banish is another good one. For entertainment purposes Epic Meal Time is an oldie but goodie not sure how their new stuff is but years ago they were the shit!
You Suck At Cooking is fantastic
Though I only speak a minuscule smatter of Italian - and none is necessary to enjoy these videos - I really like anything with Giorgione in it, for example:

OR even better

Just dive down this wonderful rabbit hole.

Emmymade is awesome.
Can’t believe noone said Binging with Babish yet. Has a great series called Basics with Babish which is exactly what it sounds like.

Middle Eats and Nadia Gilbert are both great.
Here are a few great channels from my Youtube subscriptions!
Tasting History with Max Miller hits a perfect cross-section of my interest in cooking and my interest in history. Max goes through a historical recipe each episode and pauses part of the way through to explain the history of the dish.
Minute Food has lots of short (sometimes under a minute!) videos about the science behind cooking.
Chinese Cooking Demystified is a husband-and-wife duo living in China that goes over traditional Chinese recipes, I especially like how in the voice-over they frequently list substitutions for ingredients that may be difficult to find outside of China.
Atomic Shrimp does far more than just cooking, but the cooking videos on his channel always give a neat insight into the everyday meals an older British IT Specialist makes.
