To the Buzzfeed staff: If you're reading this, please consider this article as my formal application to be the next chef featured in an upcoming "Tasty" video. My infatuation with your videos is the main reason why I still continue to check my Facebook. As of lately, I simply can't scroll through my newsfeed without watching a pair of hands skillfully creating a batch of peanut butter cookie dough bites all in a matter of minutes. The quick cooking has cast a spell on me. Here's why:
1. The organization
As opposed to the inevitable calamity that ensues whenever I try to whip of a batch of chocolate chip cookies, the Tasty videos feature beautiful matching cookware, sparkling countertops, and effortless transitions from one ingredient to the next. Call me crazy, but I find the picture perfect filming of two hands dicing onions or seasoning chicken extremely satisfying.
2. The efficiency
Although my cooking skills are sub-par at best, a girl can still dream! Since most of the videos only average out to be about three minutes long, they give me hope that making such delicious creations should take minimal effort and time on my part.
3. The attention to detail
Whether its bubbling pasta sauce, drizzling carmel, or melting cheese, Tasty always pays attention to the most mouth-watering aspects of every dish. It's a food lovers dream and a dieters worst nightmare.
4. The final product
My favorite moment of every Tasty video is the voice that declares "oh yes!" once the food is prepared indicating that, at last, it's time to dig in. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I've wished that I was the one eating the cheese-filled tater tots or slow-cooker chocolate lava cake at the end of a given video. To reiterate...Buzzfeed if you need another staff member, I'll happily send in my resume.
