Pre-COVID, I was a pretty lousy cook. There was a joke I had with my partner that I could still manage to stuff up eggs.
I also just wasn't remotely interested in doing it - I'd pick eating out or takeaway over a home-cooked meal any day.
But with both those options becoming less accessible during lockdown, I leaned into cooking, and I completely changed my mind about it.
I found that if you cook things that are simple to make and you know will taste delicious once they're done, the act of cooking is actually pretty therapeutic.
And there's one place I always go for those types of recipes: food blog RecipeTin Eats.
Created by Sydney-based cook Nagi Maehashi, her hundreds of recipes are easy to follow and packed with flavour, earning her a cult following with other home cooks everywhere.
I love how Nagi packs them with helpful tips for novice cooks, alongside useful notes on the ingredients and potential substitutes.
Here are three of her recipes I always go back to.
