this year i’ve made some big leaps in my ability to cook… enjoying the learning (and eating) process so far
That's great! I never cooked much more than maybe a chilli (it was a good one) until my sister-in-law bought me a cookbook. I've been learning and experimenting and enjoying ever since. Good food doesn't have to be hard and damn is is satisfying to look at a dish that tastes good and say, "I made that, from just base ingredients, I made that look good, taste good, smell good. I turned unappealing into appealing". And really bringing the joy back into food.

Same, been honing in on Mediterranean cuisine as of late.

I've been mostly zeroing in on South East Asian recipes. Sometimes the ingredients you get outside of that area just don't have the same effect. But I'm getting closer!
