Don't really see the point in cooking when you have high-quality ready meals available

>researching recipe online
>buying all ingredients and hoping they have everything you need in stock
>all ingredients come in random amounts that aren't suitable for your recipe - you might have not quite enough cheese in a packet of like 100g of meat you have to find some other use for before it starts stinking in your fridge
>you're an amateur so your food prep skills will never be great
>have to hope the recipe turns out ok
>it's usually shit

Vs

>pick out a Charlie Brigham's or Waitrose ready meal
>prepared with high quality ingredients already
>highly skilled chefs selected the ingredients and prepared the dish
>easy to cook, just heat it
>not wasting a whole day being autistic to get something that tastes shut
>no washing up

Every time someone has made a home cooked lasagne or curry or steak or whatever it's always meh. If you are an amateur chef you're food is almost certainly shit and not as good as restaurant quality or an expensive ready meal. Simple as.
