What kind of cooking do you do?
I wrote out a huge response to this and connect crashed that day and lost it, I meant to reply again but forgot until now. TLDR: everything I can in a home kitchen
I love most kinds of foods, my favorite food has been steamed artichokes dipped in hollandaise sauce pretty much my entire life. My more recent favorite food is jjajangmyeon, I mostly use Maangchi's recipe but I tried another early on that added mirin and cabbage so I add those now too because they're just so good in it.
My favorite recipes though are cheap, easy, quick, and delicious. Instant pot stuff has been great as I had a baby in January and it lets me make pretty decent stuff with very little work. The air fryer is also fantastic and we use it regularly for all kinds of things.
I finally got my 12" cast iron to a great state of seasoning so I've been making omelets and now more recently toast omelet things (basically dip bread in the eggs and flip over, then flip the whole thing once eggs are set, put filings in and close up and cook the bread to a nice golden brown on each side). I also love making beef jerky and oh boy is it way better than store-bought. Grilling is also fun, i smoke our turkey every year in my weber (got a rotisserie thing for it last year!), and I like to bake - pineapple upside-down cake is my favorite, but I'm also partial to sour cream pound cake (served as strawberry shortcake), and St. Louis gooey butter cake.
I'm always looking for new things to try, and my meal planner has more recipes than I've ever made saved in it haha (I should really clean it up).
