@HowToCookThat, hosted by food scientist & dietician Ann Reardon, is ostensibly a baking channel.
But really, it’s so much more than that.
It’s a channel about truth, trust, and trickery in the online world. It’s one that tells us something about the perils of an information environment driven by algorithms, and the way the internet is evolving.
And it’s for anyone who’s ever been fooled by an online video with a viral recipe or “hack” that doesn’t really work.
Her ‘debunking’ videos are a highlight, but How To Cook That is also a great source of science education, nutritional information, independent consumer advice, and fun, family viewing. If you remember and liked the ABC TV consumer affairs show “The Checkout”, I think there’s a good chance you’ll love this channel – it covers a lot of the same territory.
This channel was a viewer suggestion – so big thanks to Josh for sending it in.
