Isolation has driven me to improve the variety of my cooking. Previously, we rotated through a lot of the same dishes throughout the week. Now, though, we're trying to get good Instagram food shots to share with friends, and thus don't want to repeat.

I'm also using the extensive cookbook library we have at home a lot more than I used to, for the same reasons. I've always used the cookbooks for inspiration, but now since we're planning grocery trips days in advance instead of just going out to grab something we may have forgotten, we review and select several possible recipes we want to try out and use those to drive our lists (we still improvise a lot, but it helps to have a better idea of the general range of ingredients needed).
