Default Our idea...

Kara and Nate are now going across the US with sponsors on their channel.

Your links to the videos of drawing explanations could help making the videos easier. But as you said, it's gonna take time.

One thing I see consistently, is videos of cooking, recipes, and the like. (We gotta eat, don't we?)

Find a niche or take the time to build one. At least, if you build a video channel, it is something you can do from home, in your study or office (or kitchen) and not have to slog to a job if you are successful.
Thanks Millard!

My wife and I had the idea a few years ago to do a "cooking" channel on YouTube...

She's a great chef! But...

There seem to be more "disasters" than average around her in the kitchen (in terms of fire alarms going off, dishes going up in smoke, etc.)...

The idea was to do a "cooking" show, where she would show how to cook a dish...

But, every "episode," a disaster would happen!

I think it would be funny if, even after the disaster, the dish turns out perfect!

Anyway... It was a fun idea... But it would also be a lot of work...

It would be like making your own TV series...

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Fold in the cheese.

I love it.

Thought you might enjoy this:

One of these days, (which means never), I'll start my own cooking channel, maybe calling it HOW TO FOLD IN THE CHEESE. ha!

Default Just don't cut off your finger, like I did, that is a real disaster.

Do me a favor Dien,

PLEASE for god's sake, don't show people how to chop up vegetables.

If I did a cooking show, first thing I would say is GO AWAY if you don't know how to cut up a carrot, or celery or a potato or onion.

GO AWAY. When you take all the chopping on YouTube, a 5 minute recipe can be covered in about 2 mins.

My belief, opinion and bias is...if you don't know how to cut a carrot, you've got no business trying to do anything in the kitchen, get out now.

I did start a cookbook eons ago, ALEXANDER'S GREAT SOUPS, STEWS AND SAUCES...and if I were to channel that on youtube, there would be NO chopping of anything...come back after you have cut your finger off.

Default The great peeling debate!

When I was growing up, I noticed a great family rift... that started in the kitchen!

When peeling, for example, apples using a knife, my paternal grandmother (my father's mother) always peeled TOWARDS herself...

Whereas my mother, always peeled AWAY from herself...

This caused a lot of tension between my mother and her mother-in-law!

(I think my Dad stayed diplomatically out of it...)

My grandmother insisted peeling TOWARDS yourself is the right way!

But my Mom was equally insistent that peeling AWAY from yourself is the right way!

Things like this could be the start of World War III...

Best wishes!

Default As long as I don't have to see it, one way or the other.

I'm making a lot of soups this week...and watching videos, for example, of a lentil soup, searching for some variation...and there they are, in all of them...people cutting carrots up or whatever.

I'm sure it is just me. But why not start with "add your cut up vegies", and not show me how a knife works. I think your dad was a smart guy to not get in the middle of that kitchen nightmare, even Gordy Ramsey would run.

Seems like everyone is getting into cooking.

A well-known tv commentator has taken up the cooking mantle in a youtube channel called "Jenny Can Cook".

Here is a link to one of her recipes...

Default Room for everybody.

It has been 10 years...wow, like swhoosh it goes fast...

since I made the video of the pan cookie and bean ice cream from New Mexico. I think my first cooking related video was almost 20 years ago...seems like I missed the boat on the whole cooking thing...albeit, always room for innovation in the kitchen.

I'm afraid if I were to fire up the stove, I'd make Gordon Ramsay look like a timid introvert...I mean, I get mad at people cutting up vegetables for cry in the buckets?!?!?!?!?

Anyhow...here are some ideas we've kicked around in the past:

I've mentioned ALEXANDER'S GREAT SOUPS, STEWS AND SAUCES.

I also have sketched out: SUBMARINE CUISINE: RECIPES FOR LARGE GROUPS.

RAILROAD CHEFS-Silver Bullet Meals on Steel Wheels.

Cooking for one.

Making what you have. I actually tried this, in the archives somewhere. Send me a pic or list of what you have on hand, I'll create a meal from scratch.

It helps that I've attended 3 cooking schools, grew up in a "restaurant", worked in dozens of kitchens, galleys. canteens and grills.

Anyhow, a magician could have his MAGIC MEALS CHANNEL, Rabbit Stew (first pull a rabbit out of your hat)...

or some quick and easy MAGICically QUICK meals.

A twist is all you or anyone needs, just as long as you don't show yourself peeling a dang carrot.

Gordon

Gordon,

I remember a show where someone came to a house with a film crew and made a meal with whatever was in the home owner's fridge. Might be interesting to create meals from lists of foods people gave you.

Hmmm...

Seems like Guy Fieri and his show, "Guy's Grocery Games" does a version of this.

Might be a lot of work, but a membership site that allows you to input ingredients and then "Viola" a recipe pops up could work... (But would it be profitable?)

As I mentioned before, there are many cooks on Youtube, could this concept be used to create a channel that people would watch? Who knows ?

Ha ! You could even make a challenge game out of it... Stump the chef! (See what happens when let my mind off the leash!)

Cheers,
Millard
