    I really like his approach to cooking. The Food Lab is awesome, but the philosophy of not just testing recipes (I’m sure plenty experiment some), but regularly documenting what specific changes do to the end result as part of his teaching process is available on a bunch of his other resources as well, and is awesome.

    You can find recipes for just about anything online from a bunch of different places, but almost none of them are more than a list of ingredients and some very basic steps. I find J Kenji’s presentation of what you’re looking for with each step and what you need to correct vs what you can ignore incredibly helpful.

      100% agree! I mostly watch his videos online but I also bought The Food Lab.
