The Spelt Kitchen YouTube Channel

I recently launched The Spelt Kitchen YouTube channel to share my easy spelt recipe videos. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space where I show you how to bake and cook with spelt flour and simple ingredients. Whether you’re new to cooking or looking for practical tips, the videos bring my recipes to life in a clear and approachable way.

In this post, I’ll share a bit about how the channel started, what you can expect to find there, and how it ties in with the recipes here on the blog.

The Spelt Kitchen YouTube Channel

After starting The Spelt Kitchen blog, I wanted to bring my recipes to life in a new, visual way. I was inspired by the beautiful and artistic videos that my fellow bloggers were producing, and I wanted to give it a try. So, to get in on the action, I launched my own YouTube channel.

When I first started, it was called Quick & Easy Recipes with The Spelt Kitchen. I deliberately focused on easy, straightforward recipes. Not just because they’re perfect for busy days, but also because they were manageable for me to film and edit as a complete beginner. I was learning everything from scratch, and keeping things simple made the whole process feel achievable.

For those of you who check in with the blog regularly, you’ll already know that I had recently started this YouTube adventure. I’ve been recreating some of my old, much-loved recipes as videos and adding them to my blog posts. Honestly, I’ve had so much fun with it! I have to say though, it’s been both thrilling and a little challenging. As someone who loves to prepare recipes calmly, without worrying about spills and messes, I’ve found filming can sometimes feel a bit stressful. But now, I really feel like I’m finding my groove, and the process is much smoother.

I launched the channel because sometimes written recipes and photos just aren’t enough. Videos let me show you how a dough should look, the consistency of a batter, or how quickly something comes together. My goal has always been to make baking and cooking feel achievable, not picture-perfect. The videos aren’t highly polished. They’re real, simple, and practical. Just like the recipes themselves.

How my YouTube channel has evolved

Over time, the channel naturally grew and evolved alongside my blog. As I became more confident with filming and editing, I also realised the importance of creating a cohesive brand. That’s why I’ve now updated the channel’s name to match my blog exactly: The Spelt Kitchen. It’s a small but meaningful change that ties everything together and makes it easier to find me, whether you’re reading or watching.

In the beginning, my focus was simply to get comfortable behind the camera. Now, I think more about how the videos can really support and enhance the recipes on the blog. I’ve moved from just recording step-by-step shots to thinking about what’s most helpful to you as a viewer, whether it’s showing a tricky technique, how a dough should feel, or when something is ready to come out of the oven.

I don’t upload new videos regularly, but I like to add them when they genuinely complement the blog content. Some recipes feel better explained with a video, especially when the texture or timing is key. The channel is growing steadily, and it’s become an important part of how I share my recipes with you.

Easy spelt recipe videos

If you’re wondering what’s on the channel, it’s a mix of approachable, everyday recipes, many of which you’ll already know if you’ve been following the blog for a while.

In particular:

• Quick spelt bread recipes: Cherry and lemon spelt soda bread

• Healthier & lighter recipes: Wholemeal spelt strawberry muffins

• Spelt flour favourites: Swedish chocolate cookies

• Simple candy recipes: Chocolate honeycomb (cinder toffee)

And there’s more

That’s not just it; there are loads more, including chocolate sockerkaka, doughnut muffins, maple and berry jam, kladdkaka and milk chocolate fudge. Feast your eyes, and hopefully take some inspiration from my videos.

My videos are simple, real, and practical. While there’s always an audio soundtrack running to keep things smooth and pleasant, I don’t over-polish the editing. Sometimes the transitions are a little rough around the edges, as I’m still learning and finding my flow behind the camera. You won’t hear the usual kitchen clinks or flour dust (thankfully), but you might notice a slightly less-than-perfect cut here and there.

In the future, I plan to add more tutorial type videos for things like The Beginner’s Guide to Spelt and Spelt vs Plain Flour: Which makes the best cupcake. You might even see me in front of the camera, not behind. Watch this space!
