Quarantine has turned everyone into a cooking show host on Instagram. Here are some fun people to watch.
Many of us are trapped in the Instagram vortex. In the absence of sleep or anything to do, you scroll and scroll until you pause at a video of someone throwing something into a pan. The ASMR of the sizzling is enough to inspire your own attempt at cooking or, at the very least, offer a welcome distraction.
It seems everyone — that college friend you never see in person but still follow, your favorite chef, your celebrity crush — is cooking on Instagram. The hashtag #quarantinecooking has nearly 200,000 tags. Some videos offer real cooking tips. Others provide self-validation: My kitchen is somehow cleaner than yours? Winning.
Here’s a list of chefs and celebrities to follow on Instagram, for the next time you’re trapped in the vortex and never want to get out:The cookbook author and chef said he’s gained about 20,000 followers since he started posting regular cooking content during the quarantine. He gives easy-to-follow directions and recipes for naan, fried rice, Thai BBQ chicken and more, using microphones and LED light panels — and sometimes even a GoPro and a DSLR — for professional-looking videos.
The videos have also been a good way for him to build his brand. In addition to an influx of followers, he said he sold about 500 of his cookbooks from his home after it sold out on Amazon.
