Snapchat Discover can be seen as a nuisance or a waste of time. However, there is one particular channel which has captured my heart… and my stomach! Tastemade is an amazing channel and their daily editions are fun and educational. If you are a foodie like myself, then I would suggest watching videos by the following four chefs. They are young, fun, and creative, all qualities reflected in their recipes. Even if you are still using a meal plan, it doesn’t hurt to stock up on some recipes when you have a kitchen of your own. Here is my list of the top four chefs on Tastemade which includes one example recipe!
1. Julie Nolke
Julie is a bubbly and down to earth host who puts spins on Canadian dishes. In addition to making mouth-watering poutines, her segments typically spoof movies and are full of pop-culture references. Her energy and goofy personality bridge the gap between food and fun.

2. Jen Phanomrat
Jen is a close second in my opinion. She makes delicious dishes that fuse her Filipino roots with her own twists. Jen also challenges your taste buds by switching out ingredients in popular recipes. Her smile and humor makes it easy to believe that food brings happiness and comfort. Her catchphrase: “Just eat life” is amazing and once you watch her videos you just might get a tattoo of it.

3. Marcus Meacham
Marcus is the definition of cool. And if you are take pride in your carnivorous diet then his videos are for you. His twists on pulled pork and steak will have you staring at your phone with a fork and knife in your other hand. His fusion recipes create robust flavors and his calm voice shows the relaxing side of cooking.

4. Lazarus Lynch
Lazarus’s food can be best described as elevated comfort food. Many of recipes include jazzed up mac and cheese as well as fritters. The flavor profiles he develops make you ready to dump the boxed stuff in the trash. Known as “Son of a Southern Chef” I think it’s clear that all of us would love to join him at his house.

Snapchat Discover can be pretty lame, but check out Tastemade on Snapchat or online. Enjoy watching these amazing young chefs and I hope they inspire you to explore a better relationship with food!
