Cooking during Covid

No doubt many of you have already fancied yourselves as decent cooks. But what has this pandemic done to either push or restrict creativity, motivation, and drive. With many small restaurants closing and many more on the brink, people have turned to delivery, and curbside pickup options for meals. This can get very expensive. At one point many have realized that doing for themselves may be a viable option until “normal” dining once again resumes. Food Network for one has offered on demand videos to aid the cooking challenged as it were with discounted subscription pricing to get started. Meal prep companies have seen an increase as consumers find themselves challenged to prep meals with variety and reduce not only working from home but working on everything from home. Supporting locally owned businesses, especially restaurants will give the local economy the push to keep its head above water just enough to swim for the recovery shore.
