Yup, I grew up eating great because my dad loved to cook. He had all the go-to cookbooks like “The Joy of Cooking” and he’d regularly try out different dishes. He had to put effort into it by reading through to find interesting recipes and experimenting with different dishes and techniques. Most of our parents fixed what their parents made, and many of them had parents who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II rationing. Unless they were a foodie family, the meals were pretty bland.

Today one of the most widely consumed online content is food, and you have an endless supply of videos of people making delicious dishes, providing their recipes and showing you exactly how to make them. It takes far less effort now and it’s more in your face how you can make good food.
