I remember liking ones from Europe, even if I didn’t understand the language at all, because someone would point the camera at their aunt or grandmother who would just go ahead and make the food in a straightforward fashion.

Beyond that, what would I want? It might be nice to hear about the experiences of having tried deviating from steps in the recipe, since many people authoritatively repeat what they heard from some authority somewhere. Or “X Y Z has been held up as so important, but I have been doing A B C and it seems fine to me.” I’m not really managing to think of much here. I suppose it would be nice to have a way to communicate with the makers of videos and the viewers without having a Google account (since I don’t).

My biggest pet peeve is when videos are like “I have a cooking show! Discover me, riches and fame!”

Which is to say, so many of them that I rarely even try to watch a cooking video today.

And if you go just slightly older on Thinkpads, you get real keys.
