I've never been into cooking apart from the cold coffees and a two-minute snack here and there. An absolute lockdown-turned home chef (if I may call myself that), on most days, I have been trying and testing recipes with ingredients at home. To my surprise, the process has been quite enjoyable. It's a great time to reconnect with homemade food - whether it is the traditional recipes with house spices, home-baked bread or cakes or something whipped with few at-home ingredients. Today, with the lockdown experience behind me, I can say that there is beauty and simplicity in home-cooked food.
