Since the last year when we had to go through a lockdown and stay at home entirely for almost 2 months, we have come up with so many recipes that eventually we decided we should put them up on YouTube.
Hence, at the beginning of 2021, we decided to reshoot all our favourite and most well received Instagram posts.
These new videos are shot entirely on iPhone 12 Pro Max at 4k and most importantly, at High Dynamic Range colour. This means that on screens that support this HDR format, you get to see the recipes in the best possible format.
