Barry Lewis (born 15 July 1982) is a British cook, author and founder of the YouTube channel, Barry Lewis (formerly "My Virgin Kitchen"), which, as of June 2023, has over 942,000 subscribers.
A self-taught cook, Lewis began filming recipe attempts online from his home in Weston Super Mare in 2010 after he saw Jamie Oliver on a television show. After being signed up by Oliver to appear on his YouTube channel,[2] Lewis attracted media coverage. His cookbook, Dinner's On, was published in May 2014 and a second, My Virgin Kitchen – Delicious Recipes You Can Make Every Day, in August 2017.
In January 2019, the My Virgin Kitchen YouTube channel was renamed to Barry Lewis.[3]
