The post Alison Roman Will Inspire You to Cook, If Nothing Else appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>But if you ask Roman, she’s just a person writing recipes that people like. “I’m not trying to corner a market,” she relayed in an interview with the New Consumer. “I’m not trying to appeal to millennials, which by the way, could be a 40-year-old at this point.”
“There’s other people in my industry that would never get that label that,” she reflected, “quite frankly, have never achieved the level of popularity, and I’m wondering why. It’s just interesting to me.” Her rise to popularity is in part thanks to her viral recipes (look up #TheStew and #TheCookies), and in part due to her unapologetic approach to cooking (look up that beef with Chrissy Teigen).
She also has a newsletter you’d actually want to sign up for, with recent recipes including sticky apple cake and chicken salad. But according to Roman, her success came about fairly intuitively, with no real business model to follow. “I have no strategy,” she admitted. “That’s something you should know about me. I’m like an animal. [Laughs.] I operate on instinct — yes or no. I say no a lot. And I say yes to not as much, especially these days.”
Follow her on Instagram for some behind-the-scenes footage from her kitchen.

]]>Johansen puts her money where her mouth is, with recent posts on Instagram including a mouthwatering photo of maple, toasted pecan, and sour cream muffins, as well as a recipe for the ultimate cinnamon bun.
The author of six food and drink books, Johansen has written for publications like The Times, Sunday Times, Daily Mail, Stella, and Marie Claire, exploring Nordic cuisine and beyond. She’s also the co-founder of “Spirited Women”, encouraging women to try whiskey and other spirits (with an accompanying book titled “Spirited” where you can find fifty cocktail recipes).
Another recommended book is “How to Hygge”, where Johansen outlines the Nordic way of living. “When I’m invited to dinner I always take some Nordic homemade jam – plum or wild blueberry,” she shared. “I make a very punchy tart jam, not overly sweet, with a lot of flavour. People always love homemade jam.”
If you’re a fan of Nordic minimalism, buttery desserts, and cocktail hours, you might have just hit the jackpot.

]]>Bengtsson knows how to perfectly arrange food which is what brought our attention to her Instagram account. She’s a natural talent when it comes to arranging colors and textures. “It doesn’t always have to be bright red or green… I firmly believe that brown and white and (subtler shades) are in the color aspect of a plate,” My Modern Met quoted her. Find inspiration for arranging food on this talented chef’s Instagram page.

]]>Chef John is a professional chef who worked in the food industry for over 20 years, filling every position from waiter to chef, before deciding to quit and move on to teaching. At first, he taught at a California Culinary Academy, but his true passion was spreading the love of cooking to people who didn’t want to go into the industry, and who didn’t even think they could cook.
He started out with a humble blog, a single camera, and a tape recorder. His limited equipment led to some editorial decisions: he stayed off-camera, focused on the food, and used voice-over to explain the process. This signature style, along with his ability to break down recipes and explain plainly and clearly, made him a YouTube phenomenon. Today he has over 3 million subscribers that watch his bi-weekly videos religiously.
Chef John’s main goal is to help others learn to cook. Early on, he didn’t give out full recipes, so that his viewer at home would experiment and find the perfect recipe for them. Today, you can find his recipes online, but his philosophy remains the same – experiment, find your own taste and have fun in the kitchen.

]]>Joshua Weissman is a twenty-something-year-old chef and Youtuber. Unlike many celebrity chefs, he’s completely self-taught. His love of cooking started early when as a small boy he would help his mother out in the kitchen. Slowly but surely, he learned the craft of cooking, and by high school, he was a master.
Joshua wanted to share his passion with others, and to do that, he did what anybody in this day and age does – he went online. He started his blog and then his YouTube cooking channel, and shared his favorite recipes with his growing audience.
Today, Joshua is a real celebrity chef. he’s gathered so many subscribers over the years that he decided to quit his job at a high-end restaurant and become a full-time YouTuber. And when you look at his channel, it’s easy to understand why he’s so successful – his food and photography are incredibly stylish, yet he knows how to break every recipe down and make even the most complicated dish seem easy to make. And there’s nothing we love more than quality food we can make at home!
