I enjoy baking. I don’t do it nearly enough because life has a way of crushing your “there will be home baked cookies every day after school” dreams. I watch lots of baking shows. They’re almost all fun, but certain ones raise to the level of being personal. John Kanell’s “Preppy Kitchen” is one of those. Since his channel is non-narrative you mostly watch what you’re interested in which takes you through John’s journey as a host. You watch him fight his quirks and then embrace them which is a good thing because those quirks are what makes the show personal. The recipes are also clear and comprehensible for the average baker. The skills run from batter construction, to icing species, to making it look good.
John is brave letting us in on his ordinary life, even some of the extraordinary moments. Give him a chance. If you’re not into Youtube, he does have a book.
