Simon Gault’s Recipes Worth Watching

Simon Gault has spent years in kitchens and in front of cameras teaching people how food should feel — honest, clear, and full of flavour. On his YouTube channel, he brings that same clarity to home cooking, breaking big ideas down into approachable steps that actually make sense in a real kitchen.

This isn’t about complex tricks or unreachable techniques. One standout video shows Simon walking through how to cook the best eye fillet steak every time, a guide that strips steak down to timing, heat and confidence. It’s the kind of recipe you come back to again and again, because it just works.

Another favourite is his 20-Minute Chicken Curry — a recipe that brings flavour without fuss and proves good cooking doesn’t have to take forever. Whether you’re making dinner after work or hosting friends on a weekend, Simon’s step-by-step approach is both reassuring and fun.

If basics are what you’re after, Simon offers videos on building block techniques every cook should know. Think perfect poached eggs and soul-soothing bread — the kind of staples that make a kitchen feel owned rather than just used.

It’s also worth diving into playlists like Cooking with Simon Gault, where salmon dinners and monkfish mastery sit alongside bright salads and creative twists. The diversity reflects Simon’s grounded view of food — seasonal, versatile and generous in flavour.

At Collaborate, we love that Simon takes what can feel abstract and makes it human. These recipes don’t just show you how to cook — they invite you into a conversation about food that’s rooted in experience, curiosity and heaps of good sense. And on YouTube, that conversation is open to anyone with an appetite and an open mind.
