What are some good ways to learn to cook based on cuisine / ingredient / technique? Like a show or educational program that discusses them per item and the differences?

Alton Brown is great for young adults. Then ignore everything he says and listen to Gordon Ramsay. Then ignore most of what he says and listen to Kenji. You learn how shit works along the way.

If you're looking for cuisine specific knowledge cookbooks are still actually useful. Pick up a few dedicated to the specific cuisine you're interested in. Good ones will tell you which dishes are traditionally served together to make a meal.

fuck, i typed up some shit and deleted it.

the shwo in OPs pic isnt good for food. its glorifying chefs, but no food or technique talk. waste of time if you ask me.

>mind of a chef
important in getting into the mindset of combining random shit. more than likely, youll be cooking with what you have on hand, rather than prepping for a recipe. the show is good for realizing what angle you need to take when it comes to getting by with what you have, and thinking on your feet.

general education and technique. the collection on netflix right now is pretty good. alton brown teaches a lot fo basics, gives you some science and in-depth teahcing, and he snot boring. go with the collection on netflix. his total collection is a little vast to just start out on.

cool part is he doesnt do just food, but drinks, general kitchen education and all that shit. good for entertainers that want to impress guests with generalized knowledge.

for when you start to get serious. interesting, fast, and serious, with pretty advanced shit going on.

Not OP but I cannot fucking stand Alton Brown. Recently in Australia we got a new foodnetwork channel, and he's on every second show. His personality and the way he speaks and moves is so grating, it makes it impossible for me to watch an entire episode of anything he's in.

America's Test Kitchen is great, they also produce Cook's Illustrated which is a great publication

Chef John with Foodwishes.blogspot.com, as well as his YouTube channel, is a pretty good resource for a multitude of recipes.

Or, Cooking With Jack. That's a good one on YouTube to learn how to cook.
