''Henry's Kitchen'' is an American {{Comedy}} CookingShow presented by Henry Phillips.

The show consists of Henry cooking a meal while explaining how to do it. There is one catch though: he isn't good at cooking. While he tries to follow the recipe, he sometimes lacks a an important ingredient or has any random incident happening to him. Some episodes also feature other characters, who are more or less friends with Henry, and feature a song written and performed by José Suicidio.

The first episode about French toast was published on {{Website/Youtube}} in 2011 and the series is still ongoing. Henry also released two cookbooks and you can support his work on Patreon.

!!This show contains examples of:
* BadDate: The "Sushi" episode's premise is Henry making some sushis for a dinner date with a woman. She's disturbed by Henry filming the date, disgusted by the cooked sushis, and leaves early.
* {{Beat}}: Due to bad editing, some moments end longer that they should and the camera keeps running while Henry has nothing more to say.
* CharacterTitle
* CoverVersion: The New Year episode features a cover of "Auld Lang Syne" by José Suicidio. It is renamed "All Long Sign".
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Henry's meals are always bound to be cooked badly. It is sometimes based on his cooking skills or his environment preventing him from following the recipe right.
* HopeSpot: The "Famous Spicy Shepard's Pie" episode has Henry successfully cooking the meal (or at least making it look fine)... [[spoiler: Until it gets trashed by his neighbor Bill]].
* LethalChef: Henry. Most of the meals he cooks look inedible.
* NonSequitur: While Henry shows how he cooks, he would sometimes switch to a completely different subject unrelated to cooking at all.
--> ''We want to slice it up into manageable slices. And... a common practice in the TheMiddleAges was that if a woman wasn't married by the time she was 20 years old, that was seen as a crime against religion and then, I guess, she would be beaten into submission or sometimes even tortured or sometimes executed.''
* ThePlace: Sometimes subverted on some episodes which aren't taking place in Henry's kitchen but other people's.
* ProtagonistTitle
* StylisticSuck: Outside of Henry's cooking skills, the editing is also lackluster and leads up to moments of unedited awkward silence or unnecessary artsy transitions.
