Article Title: Food vloggers

“Next Saturday in San Francisco, The Vloggies (video+blog=vlog) will recognize excellent online video content. Some of the nominees for best Cooking Vlog are:

1) The ever charming Crash Test Kitchen duo of Waz and Lenny. I love their stuff but wish they’d post more often.

2) The affably clueless guys at Control Alt Chicken, a show about cooking hosted by two people who don’t really know how to cook.

3) the YouTube offerings from KitchenArts, a kitchen equipment store in Boston that’s linked up the items in its online store to relevant instructional videos.

4) Avrom Honig and his grandmother’s wonderful Feed Me Bubbe, a vlog featuring “Jewish cooking the way it was back in the old days.”

5) My favorite: Rebecca Gerendasy’s Cooking Up a Story, whose documentary episodes zoom in on the people behind the food. Recent highlights include a visit to the only whisk factory in the U.S., one boy’s struggle with type-1 diabetes, and a behind-the-scene look at Cheese by Hand’s behind-the-scene look at American cheesemakers.

You can find other cooking vlog nominees and vote for your favorite here. The other Vloggies categories and their nominees are here.”

Recently, I’ve discovered a few I really enjoy which are short, educational, entertaining, and frankly remind me of the shows my father and I are producing….”

“This morning I was exposed to “Feed Me, Bubbe” for the first time. It’s amazing to me how interested I can be watching someone else’s grandmother cook. What a personality, and so well produced!…”

Article Title: Video: How to Make Chicken Soup

“My mom and I love this. ”

and there is even a great comment.

“This is really great, not only because it just is, but also because I made chicken soup just last night. I have a special pitcher that I usually use to skim the fat off, but it’s packed away in storage. I have my soup sitting in the fridge right this second, and I wasn’t exactly sure how to separate the fat. She made it seem super easy. So now I’m off to the kitchen with renewed confidence!”
