What can you do with Instagram's 15 seconds that you couldn't with Vine's 7? Learn to cook, courtesy of Dutch chef Bart von Olphen. February 11, 2014 3:06 PM PST (Credit: Bart von Olphen) While we've seen some pretty great Vines, Instagram's 15 seconds has enabled something we think is pretty neat: Bart von Olphen's Fish Tales. Calling itself "the world's shortest cooking show," it uses the 15-second format to show you how to make super-easy recipes, all centered around seafood. Tips include how to pan-fry a fish fillet and how to tell if fish is fresh. Some of the recipes are broken down into easily digestible chunks: in one, you might be shown how to cook the meat, and in the next, how to make a sauce for it. Host von Olphen, a Dutch chef and author, has also made a couple of videos showing how fish is caught, with a focus on sustainability. It's an interesting idea, and great for people with little time or skill in the kitchen. We'd love to see someone take the idea beyond seafood, too -- but it's a testament to the fact that the tastiest food doesn't necessarily have to be the most complicated to make.
