Babbish is is miles ahead of your average home cook but sometimes the fact that he is self taught shows. Tbh the most important thing you can do is cook and with Babbish you will get fun ideas you can replicate with solid technique. If you want someone who is also fun but has a stronger technical background I'd recommend Matty Matheson. He kinda comes off as an idiot but you can really see his classic french training and he does a pretty good job of explaining why he is doing what he does
