The Best Resources For Learning How To Cook Online
February 10, 2021BruceDayne#DMTBeautySpot #beauty
At the start of the pandemic, you couldn't scroll through social media without being bombarded with images of your friends' beautifully baked bread loaves, made-from-scratch sweet treats, and pantry meals that somehow look truly gourmet. Because many of us suddenly had plenty of time on our hands over the past several months, cooking was embraced by many as a gratifying and useful hobby. But what about those that don't know how to cook?
You can avoid feeling this very specific brand of mid-quarantine FOMO by learning how to cook and bake right now with help from videos, virtual classes, and certain social media accounts. With these resources, you'll not only have a way to feed yourself that doesn't require ordering take-out, but you'll also have your own masterpiece meals to share on Instagram.
