Food writer, content creator and former Bake Off finalist Chetna Makan shares a family recipe

Food with Chetna is a YouTube channel that shares step-by-step recipes, baking inspiration, instant family meals and the joy of Indian cooking, hosted by prolific cookbook author and one-time Great British Bake Off finalist, Chetna Makan.

Chetna’s love of creating dishes, bakes and Indian food for her family was inspired by her own mother’s talent for cooking from scratch. After competing in the 2014 series of Bake Off, she carved out her own online space to share her passion for food and cooking in a relaxed, ‘at home’ style that serves a global audience. This yoghurt curry cooking video has the delightful added ingredient of Chetna’s mum, adding an intergenerational flavour to this mother-daughter cook-along.

Food is a common theme across the landscape of online video, with an expansive range of cooking videos comprising recipe demos, food ASMR, Mukbang, food vlogs, celebrity chef tutorials and food science. Some focus on distinct styles of cuisine informed by regional ingredients, cultural traditions and geographic regions, while there is a large audience for videos delving into culinary arts, including food prep, plating, and presentation.
