That’s why I know I’m never going to be a foodie or even remotely enjoy cooking. I just don’t want to spend all that time only to be done eating so soon. Some dishes just aren’t worth the time invested.
If you enjoy cooking as a hobby, great. But since I don’t, I’m choosing easy to make things whenever possible.
Heck, I don’t even like going to restaurants. The wait is usually far too long compared to the actual meal.
Yeah, and part of that skill can be recognizing some meals arent worth it just to enjoy as a hobby. Like I dont fuck with recipes I cant make large batches for leftovers and freeze
I also kind of hate the foodie thing (probably class resentment), so I like making easy “one pot” type meals that aren’t too fussy on the timing. Like tomato baked beans, dal, tossed chickpeas, etc.
I like that even if I decide to just do the simplest version imaginable. Like lentils with salt and pepper, it’s still going to be delicious and nutritious. Then if I feel like doing a bit more work on it, say adding some more interesting spices, I get to see the benefits of every little bit of extra effort immediately.
But I’ll fukn die before I call myself a foodie rofl.

Cooking isn’t just a hobby. It’s a necessary life skill.

Oh absolutely! Meal planning and batch cooking are absolute lifesavers (both nutritionally and for our wallets).
I like cooking but only for other people lol. If it’s just me you know I’m throwing in this week’s seventh Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni pizza.

I’m a foodie and I make those kinds of meals. I just probably use more spices than average.
