“Easy Teriyaki Chicken – How To Make The Easiest Way”. YouTube. N.p., 2013. Web. 22 Mar. 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RXjIz9hCJI

For my mentor piece, I decided to choose a teriyaki chicken instructional video made from “Chowhound”. I like the idea of using videos for recipes because I know many audience members enjoy watching more than reading.

Whenever somebody is interested in how to make something, Chowhound is most likely going to have your answer. Chowhound not only describes how to make food but also lets us in on videos providing us with information on cities foods, tools and even reviews! One of my favorite things about these videos is how short they are yet, they give us all the information we could want/need. The videos are easy to follow and definitely manageable to watch and make at the same time. Chowhound supplies us with easy instructions that first time makers can follow without hesitation. While watching the video, it is interesting to see how professional it seems. A YouTube channel with just a few minute long videos really grabs your attention and looks like an expert. The actress in these videos make watching very nice and relaxing as she is confident and has a big smile on her face the whole time. My specific video I picked has a great amount of specific detail that the audience would enjoy. I especially appreciate how the speaker knows what problems may occur and she describes what to do in those situations. The video is very simple, well done and contains a great amount of important detail to make the process easy.

This page has hundreds of thousands of subscriptions and millions of views. The channel gets paid by views and due to the high amount of viewers, Chowhound is able to keep producing great videos for rookie and professional cooks. In my opinion, video recipes are fantastic and more enjoyable to do. Being able to watch in amazement instead of staring at words on lines seems more interesting to me and I enjoy the vast majority of food videos I watch. Chowhound provides us as the audience with simple step by step processes to make the delicious food that we have always wanted to make!
