Okay, I'm playing off of @petes-5yr-cocoa 's headcannon that Max cooks

Max definitely watches YSAC. The first thing he made on a stove was a chopped salami grilled cheese, and the first thing he baked in an oven was bacon.

The first baked good he made, however, was Valentines Day Brownies, which he made when his father was out trolling bars for women. He ate the entire tray before his father got back the next day.

Before baking, he mostly just stuck with the No Heat and the Snacks and Dips recipes. He's definitely made all of the drinks, and showed off his shaky knowledge of cocktails at a party.

He's most definitely gotten the songs stuck in his head, but especially The French Fry Rap. The Egg Series made him genuinely emotional, and Better McMuffins scared him.

He forgets the name for a spatula (the scoopy/scrapey ones used for flipping) and calls them a wangjangler without even realising there's another name for them. Very confusing for his friends the first few times it happens.

He definately made some modified ramen for his first home date with Richie (or, yknow, a 'thanks for tutoring me' meal). I'd say that he kinda combined the egg ramen and steak & spinach ramen.

One of the first gifts Richie got him was the YSAC cook book, which Max responded very excited and enthusiastically to, even though most of his friends were confused when he yelled about how much he loved the gift Richie got him, since they didn't really know too much about his cooking.

Richie also turned him onto B. Dylan Hollis, whom he doesn't like as much as ysac (the deadpan comedy is something he really likes with ysac, says it's the perfect type of comedy for cooking) but he definitely like the more bite sized content with Hollis, and he finds the old recipes weird.

Well I tried but I couldn’t, so I’ll give you the YouTube Channel itself.

If yall have seen this video,

I made a more readable recipe! This is my favorite fucking soup ever, but it was kinda difficult to follow the video

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless chicken thighs

• 1 leek (or two for extra leekage)

• 2 Carrots

• 2 Celery stalks

• 3 cloves of garlic

• 1 inch of ginger

• 4 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth

• 1 Tbsp. Cumin

• 1 Tbsp. Turmeric

• 2 tsp. Salt

• 2 gold potatos

• 1 can coconut cream

1. Slice your leek in half lengthwise and thoroughly wash between the leaves. Chop the leek into thin slices, chop the carrots into quarter disks, chop the celery into small pieces. (The ingredients need to be small for some big flavor)

2. Crush or grate the garlic and ginger. (Remember to peel the ginger, no one likes unpeeled ginger)

3. Using a large pot, heat oil on medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Sear the chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side, then set aside on a plate.

4. Add oil as needed, and sauté the vegetables for a few minutes, until fragrant. Add the ginger and garlic last. Scrape the bottom of the pot to get up all the brown stuff (fond) left behind by the chicken.

5. Add 4 cups of broth to the vegetables, and add your salt, cumin, and turmeric. Add chicken back into the pot and bring to a simmer for 20 minutes.

6. While the chicken cooks, peel and chop the potatos very finely, so they will cook quickly in the soup. It's advised to use a food processer so they're about the size of a pepper corn. But if you hate your hands, you can chop it manually.

7. Once the twenty minutes are up, remove the chicken and put in the potatos. Those will cook while you shred the chicken.

8. Once the chicken is shredded, add it back to the pot, as well as your can of coconut cream. Stir until both are completely incorporated in the soup. Adjust to taste with salt or pepper. The potatos might need a few more minutes, so just keep checking to see if they melt in your mouth.

9. You're done! Time to celebrate because you just made the most delicious soup in the world!

So I open YouTube to resume watching my long videos and *this* thing greets me

[emeraldspiral]

Lord knows I could forgive almost anything for some good garlic mashed potatoes.

[guzma-enjoyer]

The first episode of You Suck at Cooking gives away such strong Guzma vibes lmao, he would definitely swear a fucking lot when cooking

youtube cooking channels my beloved <3

[aruemon]

every single time i think about boiling pasta, i think about a You Suck at Cooking video where he says, “The simple way to way to have perfectly cooked pasta every time is to follow the instructions. The people at the pasta factory had to test it at least a couple of times and it’s really rude to disrespect their efforts by throwing it against the wall.” not once has this left my mind.

Also say where you’re from in the tags!

So, a little bit ago, I posted about how I think that Max would watch YSAC, and that's how he'd learn how to cook. I linked many videos, saying what context I thought that he would watch/follow the videos.

One of them was how I think that he would make one of the Modified Ramen recipes for his first date with Richie, or just making him food to thank him for tutoring or whatever.

Like the next day, YSAC posted a part two to the Modified Ramen video! Like 5 years after the first part! What are the chances.

[teacup-captor]

Listen. I know he was joking. But rgogsh has never left me. Rgogsh has genuinely helped. Rgogsh will stay in my head until the day I die

*heavy sigh* ……. Price

Here are few other techniques, in case it helps anyone:

A while back, I remember seeing a post complaining about "lazy" recipes that that start with choppingvan onion. Anyway, I just saw a video of Gordon Ramsey showing the correct way to chop an onion, and so it turns out that I have been doing it wrong my entire life. The correct way is so much easier. Mind fucking blown.
