Things To Do On Vacation: The Food Playlist

Week Three: Things To Do On Someone Else's WiFi

So, you've gotten to your ancestral abode, probably with most of your luggage. The problem now is that you're 400 miles away from your stuff, and your relatives can't entertain you 24 hours a day -- or possibly are just so bonkers that you need to recuse yourself before you start to question the nature of reality. It's considered rude to engage in full-scale piracy on someone else's router, and it's just awkward to watch porn with your Great Aunt Mildred sleeping on the sofa bed in the next room. What to do?

This week is a whole bunch of stuff you can stream on the internet without triggering any angry letters from Comcast. I'm kicking off with the nom-based playlist, a load of people who make attractive, interesting, or just weird foods for you to binge watch as you fall asleep.

How To Cake It

Yolanda Gampp makes crazy cakes. It's great. Let's be real here; this lady is a professional cake sculptor. None of us are ever going to make any of these cakes. We just want to watch her do it. On the understanding that this is for entertainment purposes only, this will provide you 220+ episodes of Pinterest-quality baking that no actual human will ever replicate.

Gourmet Makes

The test kitchen at Bon Appetit magazine takes on the challenge of recreating utter junk like Twizzlers, Kit Kats, Twinkies, and instant ramen, only in handcrafted high-class organic free-range hipster versions. Again, no one sane would ever do this at home for free, but it's great to watch.

My Virgin Kitchen

English bloke cooks at home for YouTube, occasionally involving his two children, two adorable pug dogs, and surprisingly tolerant wife. From what I can tell this started with him screwing around in the kitchen with one of his friends, just to see what happened, and has grown in to a fairly successful channel with weird challenge playlists like transparent food and giant candies.

Ann Reardon's Tiny Kitchen

Australian lady attempts to bake the tiniest things imaginable. She also has semi-useful playlists like the one about dealing with chocolate, and modern attempts at recipes from 200-year-old cookbooks, but the miniatures one is the cutest.
