Meet the Windsor-area chef cooking up a huge YouTube following
CBC
Wil Yeung describes himself as "just some random guy on YouTube" — but with more than 500,000 followers, his recipes keep viewers hungry for more.
"I always had this passion for food," the Windsor-area host of Yeung Man Cooking explained.
Over the course of his adult life, he's worked as a teacher, a photographer and an entrepreneur, at one point running his own food product business where he created and sold various nut-milks in the Greater Toronto Area from 2015 to 2016.
Around that time, he started filming his kitchen adventures while making his nut-milk products. That was the beginning of what would later become the cooking show he hosts now.
After putting a pause on that business, he explained that he fell into a "crazy depression."
What eventually helped pulled him out of it was a decision to commit to making lunch for himself every single day. From there, he decided to start filming that effort at least once a week, eventually turning into Yeung Man Cooking.
He now posts two videos each week bringing new plant-based recipes to his viewers on a regular basis. Dishes like basil chickpea noodles, palak tofu, red Thai curry noodles — plus his popular chili oil recipe. He's also published two cook books.
Burlington MP Karina Gould gets boost from local young people after entering Liberal leadership race
A day after entering the Liberal leadership race, Burlington, Ont., MP and government House leader Karina Gould was cheered at a campaign launch party by local residents — including young people expressing hope the 37-year-old politician will represent their voices.
Two years after Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly declared she was taking the unprecedented step of moving to confiscate millions of dollars from a sanctioned Russian oligarch with assets in Canada, the government has not actually begun the court process to forfeit the money, let alone to hand it over to Ukrainian reconstruction — and it may never happen.
