Are you finding yourself cooking at home more during the current pandemic? It’s probably not something you gave much thought pre-Covid, but now it seems like everyone’s becoming their own home chef. With restaurants temporarily closed or operating under restrictions, many have taken to preparing meals at home. Some out of necessity, some for the sheer love of food and others as a means to stress-relief.
Historically, worldwide crises have been known to change people’s eating habits. World wars led to rationing which in turn led to creative and conservative cooking methods. Similarly, this pandemic has changed how a lot of us eat and think about food.
But beyond mere sustenance, there’s also the sentimental appeal. Anyone else finding that home cooked meals are a little bit like comfort in an uncertain world? As some of us are spending more time in our homes, it becomes a nourishment for both body and spirit.
And let’s not forget the sense of creativity and accomplishment that comes with preparing a meal. Shiny online recipes, from sourdough bread to Dalgona coffee, have taken over the internet giving plenty of us the courage to try out new dishes.
Share your covid-cooking journey. Have you mastered any new recipes? Are you finding comfort in the kitchen? Or maybe you’ve discovered a new found respect for the restaurant chefs and take-out meals?
