Covid-19 has affected every facet of modern life, putting many jobs, interests, and hobbies on pause throughout the long lockdown months. While there has been a lot of hardship, however, one positive to come from the experience is many people have rediscovered the joy of cooking. Home cooking is the new normal. Several factors are contributing to the continued prevalence of home cooking. Many people feel unsafe going to restaurants, but the decline in dine-in traffic isn’t the only reason people are turning on their stoves and ovens more often. Consumers who are working from home no longer stop for breakfast or coffee on their commute, nor do they frequent the lunch spots around their offices. For many, financial concerns are also a catalyst for more home-cooked meals, which come at a lower cost and often create leftovers that can be stretched much further than restaurant meals.
