A plant-based Caribbean food truck keeps Rachel Ama's kitchen warm
The truck opened on July 31, and its two videos plus a carnival weekend hot sauce giveaway are what viewers still find.
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.
I opened a food truck: plant based caribbean
No new recipes. Rachel Ama, the London cook behind two cookbooks, Rachel Ama's Vegan Eats and Rachel Ama's One Pot: 3 Ways, put nothing up this week, and her channel ran at well under half its usual daily views.
What people did watch tells you where her summer went. The busiest videos are both about a food truck she opened serving plant-based Caribbean food, a natural next step for a channel whose about text promises recipes inspired by her roots. One is the announcement, "I opened a food truck: plant based caribbean." The other is a diary of the first service, "day 1 of my food truck...31st July plant based caribbean!" Each has passed 25,000 views, and they are still drawing a small, steady trickle two months on.
The third is "free hot sauce carnival weekend," posted about five weeks ago. The title points to Notting Hill Carnival, which falls on the August bank holiday weekend in London, and to a giveaway of hot sauce that weekend. It is gathering views at about the same gentle rate as the truck videos.
Around her, plenty of the cooking channels close to her size are also running below their usual pace, among them That Recipe, We Cook Better and RachhLovesLife. Gareth Leonard and Outdoor Chef Life held close to normal, while Sam Jose's channel is in a league of its own, pulling hundreds of thousands of views a day.
