Learning to cook doesn't have to be difficult.

These days, you can access tutorials on almost anything in minutes...including cooking how-to's. YouTube is an old-reliable when it comes to tutorial-style videos. Not only are they easy to follow but they can cater to a range of different tastes, cuisines and skill levels.

To help you get started, we've listed some of the best cook-a-long channels that'll have you feeling like the Gordon Ramsey of your flat in no time:

Not only does this account cover all of the basics from how to cut a pineapple to how to make poached eggs, it also has separate playlists for each meal of the day so you can find breakfast or dinner meals quickly.

Bon Appetit

One of the more well-known channels, Bon Appetit has so much engaging content from Paul Hollywood trying American snacks to Paris Hilton making Jam. We'd highly recommend checking out their Test Kitchen playlist which covers delicious recipes from around the world, delicious desserts and what to do with leftovers.

Binging with Babish

Start from scratch by watching Basics with Babish or bring food from your favourite movies, TV shows and video games to life (if you're an anime fan, you'll love Anime with Alvin).
