I like Skinny Recipes and CookingShooking channel. Seriously I do not have patience with cooking vlogs! I will be very happy if the recipe is mentioned in the description, it makes life so simple!
I have also gone through those pains of watching unnecessary history and geography of the dish being cooked and also elaborate description of ingredients used. The best alternative I discovered is watch tiny videos of cooking on Instagram. No talk only work. Zip zap zoom!!!
