Social distancing guidelines have made outdoor errands impossible to do. Though some people are still allowed to go out, health officials have recommended limiting outings in order to avoid the risk of being exposed to the coronavirus.
If you're used to cooking your own meals, your supplies may be limited right now. It's best to make use of whatever you have on hand so you don't have to make constant trips to the store. To help you with that, here are some online resources to make you a better cook at home.
Binging with Babish
Binging with Babish is a popular YouTube channel whose fun factor comes from recreating foods from movies and TV shows. Among the channel's most popular recipes include the Ratatouille recipe from the animated film of the same name and the Krabby Patty from Spongebob Squarepants.
Of course, the channel features regular recipes as well. Its host Andrew Rea has gained much popularity that a spin-off series was created to cater to the beginner.
Food Wishes
Food Wishes is another YouTube favorite because of the host's charm and humor, as well as his incredible ability to make a complicated recipe seem simple. This channel is perfect for those who are just starting to cook, especially if you need very concise instructions. Viewers are always encouraged to trust their senses when cooking, experiment, play around with food, and think of cooking as an art.
The Kitchn
The Kitchn has been around since the mid-2000s and is popular for featuring timely and fun content. This magazine features recipes from celebrities and offers comparisons, as well as tricks to make cooking fun and much easier.
The Kitchn has loads of tips and recipes for those affected by the pandemic that includes essential items to stock up on and a list of comforting recipes.
Serious Eats
Serious Eats is a website popular among cooking nerds whose approach to cooking is scientific. It was previously run by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, who made the site popular. He has since moved on to his vlog but maintains a consulting role at the website.
Serious Eats actually has a coronavirus guide to cooking, which offers basics on food prep and storage, as well as step-by-step instructions on basic cooking processes.
By now, everybody is eager to step outside and socialize, but until COVID-19 is eliminated, we have no choice but to stay at home. We might as well take advantage of all the time in our hands right now.
