I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book "The Science of Cooking" which was fascinating.

You dont have to go full meal prep, there's small things you can do ahead of time to get better results with less time and effort later on. boiling some cubed potatoes for 10 minutes, or sous vide some chicken breast. then when it's cooking time, all you need to do is get some browning on them, they're already cooked through and extra tender.

Also: slow cooker. I gave mine away after I got an instant pot, but as I said, WFH. For people who go to work, a slow cooker is amazing. Throw food in, turn it on, have it done when you are back. Hot early or late doesn't matter.
