My roommates and I always joked how we never cooked and our fridge was only stocked with our Brita and beer. But during the pandemic, we've all grocery shopped and cooked more than ever before, all while binging the Food Network for recipes. Some of our favorite meals to cook are of the Latin American variety.
Cooking has become a wonderful way to unwind, connect with family and friends, as well as express ourselves creatively. As weβve become more comfortable with preparing specific types of dishes, we have added in our own flares to recipes, enhancing the flavors we like best.
Who knew we were all Anthony Bourdains in hiding!
As we have reentered the world, we still try to cook at least a few times a week. This new routine has been a highlight for me from the pandemic.
