To me, Food Wishes is definitely the peak of practical home cooking videos in the tradition of Jacque Pepin. I feel like Kenji et al. make recipes tailored to hobbyist and for entertainment/spectacle, while Chef John makes recipes for the regular joe.
- terribleperson 3y agoMuch of Kenji's Serious Eats era output was the results-at-any-cost hobbyist stuff, but he's gotten much less obsessed with perfection since then. Even among the Serious Eats/Food Lab recipes there are some very practical recipes, like the Foolproof Pan Pizza and any of the 'weeknight' dishes in the Food Lab. I've cooked several Chef John recipes to great results (real aioli, peanut butter fudge, beef stroganoff), but Kenji's decision to always provide weight measurements makes cooking easier for me.
