Mini bio

Before the kitchen became the job.

Albert grew up in Belarus and moved to the United States in 2016. Before building an audience for food videos, Albert worked in hardware engineering. The publisher’s biography now places Albert in Los Angeles.

How it started.

In a 2021 Tubefilter interview, Albert traced the first cooking videos to September 2020, during lockdown. TikTok came first, followed by posts on YouTube and Instagram. Albert described a birria taco video reaching 10 million views as the encouragement to keep going, then found more viewers through Mexican dishes.

A kitchen open to experiments.

The recipes mix fast-food favorites with ideas from films, television and cartoons. Albert’s debut cookbook arrived on October 22, 2024, with creations including Mozzarella Donuts, Big Mac Burritos and Deadpool Pizza. In a Publishers Weekly interview, Albert explained that the book answered viewers asking for measurements and detailed instructions.
