Babish Culinary Universe

{Andrew Rea’s YouTube channel}—{catch trailer here}—(named after the West Wing charactor) maintains a long-running production of recipe-tizing foods we see on screen (why his first cookbook was titled Eat What You Watch) with “Basics” mixed in. While appreciating the videos as they aired, I wanted an easier way to find their contents afterward. So I made one 💁. Compiling these lists is in hopes you’ll get as much out of them as I do – to Binging!
