Bridey Drake's cooking week comes with a Gary refrain

Fourteen uploads include more kitchen experiments and a sponsored day guided by a lip-mask color.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

#learningtocook#learningtocook

The newest "#learningtocook" had barely passed its first day online before becoming Bridey Drake's busiest upload by daily views. Another cooking installment from the day before sits next, giving her kitchen experiments the strongest momentum on the channel right now.

The week's most-watched new upload, though, is Sunday's "#learningtocook," with about 1.7 million views. Its comments have become a roll call for her recurring Gary refrain. Viewers keep bringing up the familiar encouragement, while others discuss the food: one describes a carbonara Buldak toastie involving milk from a potato bake and asks the essential question, did it taste good? The combination has prompted plenty of carb-on-carb observations, too.

Cooking wasn't the whole menu. "Letting a Smushy SOS Lip Mask colour control my day! @nyxcosmetics AD" puts a beauty-product premise into her everyday format. It is a paid advertisement for NYX Cosmetics, and it was the second-most-watched of her new uploads.

Bridey added about 10,000 subscribers over the week. Today's channel-wide viewing is much slower than usual, but the recent cooking releases have a different story to tell: each successive installment from Sunday through Thursday drew a larger first-day audience.
