Introducing myself - I'm Warren and I make cooking videos!

I've been making cooking videos for a couple of years now, and with the launch of my new website and channel, I thought it was about time I made a video about who I am, where I'm from and what I do. After all, you gotta trust the person doing the cooking, so here's me introducing myself...

Hi, I'm Warren and I love cooking, so I thought it was about time I did a quick reflection about who I am and how far I've come since I started creating cooking videos on YouTube. When I was at uni, I was so used to convenience food that when I left and first learned how to make a Bolognese from scratch, I was like "oh my God, you can make things like this not from the jar"!  And from then on, I was converted.  Ever since, the kitchen is where I spend most of my time because it's in there I feed myself, which means my belly is full, and then I'm happy!  So it was then my journey began all the way from my kitchen in Nottingham, England. Luckily and to my knowledge, I managed to remove all evidence of my first ever cooking video. I wanted to do a cook-a-long video and I think I took the term a little too literally! Seriously, who wants to watch someone slicing onions for 10 minutes!?!?  But since then, I just kept going - recording more videos from my kitchen and learning from each one I did. Then, in November 2011, I was lucky enough to be the only UK winner of the YouTube Nextchef competition - which was great! I got to meet loads of other foodies to help improve my cooking videos and also got a few new snazzy bits of kit as well - and I finally got to ditch the Handycam and builders lights - well, eBay them! Since then, I've seen my beloved followers increase at a rate I could only have imagined, and been truly grateful to you all for following my journey and allowing me to make cooking videos for you all.  And what's great about that? I get to hear all your comments - good and bad, and I take every single thing on board that my fans tell me - rule number one - always do a rehearsal first! And in case you didn't know, I've recently teamed up with and become a proud Tastemade partner. Allowing me to collaborate with Foodies across the globe so even more people can see my cooking videos. It goes without saying I couldn't have got this far without the support of my beloved followers and subscribers. It's you who've kept me going and provided messages of support, or given me a kick up the arse when I needed one! So thank you for following my channel and here's to many more years of culinary videos from me. So that's me! I'm Warren and I make cooking videos from my Nottinghamshire kitchen in England. Subscribe to me on YouTube, follow me on Twitter, like me on Facebook!  Whichever you choose, I look forward to making cooking videos for you all in the years to come.
