You'll learn some weird history, some things to do and LOTS of things NOT to do.
And you will laugh your goddamn ass off.

If you want to get into baking John Kirkwood videos are really good. https://www.youtube.com/@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade
His Sandwich bread made easy at home is one of my favorits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWpSbYV96_c
I have also followed a few videos from Natashas Kitchen that have turned out well. https://www.youtube.com/@Natashaskitchen/videos
And on a more funny note multi-millionare twitch streamer Asmongold demonstrates how to cook a $2 stake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hETgbsF5yY8

I'm a sucker for Sauce Stache.
Amazing videos about vegan alternatives to meat; he tries everything and it's so delicious looking and he's got a great personality. He also goes deep with a variety of mushrooms which opened my eyes a bit. I've been wanting to get my hands on a lobster mushroom ever since I saw this one.
Also the chicken of the woods one is great.
And another random coming video I watched that changed my cooking was this one about knife skills for cutting food.

It has had it's rise and fall, but Bon AppΓ©tit has a ton of great videos, both for instructions and entertainment.

A few years ago, a lot of the chefs came together in some sort of union against the leadership with pretty ugly claims, resulting in most of the chefs leaving Bon AppΓ©tit. I'm not sure what the current situation is, maybe we're morally supposed to stay away from the channel?
Anyways, I love the old videos with Brad Leone, Molly Baz, Claire Saffiz and several others. The videos beyond the major resignation has a completely different feel to it, so I haven't been following the channel a lot since that.

I learned a lot from watching the original Japanese Iron Chef. You're not learning recipes of any sort. What I learned were techniques and that it's okay to experiment and be creative in the kitchen. For day to day meals, it works pretty well when trying to come up with meal ideas based on what's on sale at the grocery store. If I want to try making something specific, that's when I search for recipes.

Jun's Kitchen A little less easy to follow but it's always a pleasure to watch him cook. You'll feel jealous of the quality of food he makes for his cats
this is a good video of you want to learn and hone good kitchen skills especially knife handling. Jacques Pepin really has some good videos.

Neat, good bot.
I don't know if it's on YouTube but Amazon has one called Oh cook with James May from top gear. It's pretty entertaining.
Sorted Food is great, and they have an app with what they call recipe packs that help a oid food waste
Nats what I reckon
https://youtu.be/vMshCdGwK1g I really like this guys methods and Ideas on cooking. Nothing really fancy but he makes some βfancyβ dishes with simple techniques. His dishes seem to focus on fresh ingredients.
Also, my favorite advice for cooking - Control everything, but especially control your heat.

I found Headbangerβs Kitchen pretty accessible when I was researching keto-centric cooking. He also does a lot of Indian dishes and some vegetarian as well.

I don't necessarily use them for specific recipes but they are detailed and explain why they like doing things a certain way. I think that is the biggest thing when you are learning to cook and not just follow recipes.
I'd also put Ann Reardon/How to Cook That in a similar spot but more geared toward baking.
Though I only speak a minuscule smatter of Italian - and none is necessary to enjoy these videos - I really like anything with Giorgione in it, for example:

OR even better

Just dive down this wonderful rabbit hole.
