I am fascinated by the private chef side of TikTok. Just imagine what it must be like to be so rich that you can get up in the morning and demand your servant make you any meal you can possibly think of. It also underlines how much work it takes to feed yourself three balanced, home-cooked, non-processed meals a day (plus snacks). This cooking business is no joke!

For us mere mortals with no trained professionals at our disposal, we have no choice but to get in the kitchen ourselves. It's not the worst thing in the world—sometimes it's fun, and even cathartic. It also means that we get to relate to the varied world of cooking memes, which understand the pleasure and the pain of getting out the recipe book. These might not inspire you for dinner tonight, but maybe they will make the whole experience a bit more entertaining.
