I've wanted to get more into cooking, so I started a project where every weekend of 2021 I've been making 1-3 new dishs 100% from scratch. No premade sauce and doughs, no frozen things, everything from scratch. Joshua Weissman has been my main source for this because he goes unnecessarily extra on everything, and I follow his recipes word for word, including getting all these weird and expensive ingredients (I've had to make a few exceptions when I couldn't find some stuff). Everything I've made has come out incredible, and I learn a lot about cooking by doing it this way. I don't think he's ever said he's better than michelin starred restaurants, he just says he's better than fast food or chain restaurants. I don't mind the arrogant tone he puts on (which is for show, as he's not like that in videos not on his channel) because he has the skills to back it up, plus you can just watch the middle of the video for the recipe and ignore the intro and ending.

Some other sources of recipes I use are Sam the Cooking Guy and Preppy Kitchen, although Preppy Kitchen is mainly about baking and deserts. I also look at J. Kenji Lpez-Alt and Binging with Babish occasionally.
