Here we have a selection of mouth-watering and beautiful-looking foods for your enjoyment from the people on this very dedicated subreddit. “Simple, attractive, and visual” is their motto and the posters execute that to a “T.” So, scroll away, hungry Pandas, and enjoy some delicious-looking foods these foodies either made themselves, or spotted somewhere in the wild. Bored Panda reached out to Raunak Sunder, aka Chef Ron to know more about honing your home cook skills. He’s a food enthusiast who posts delicious-looking dishes on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. He shared some cooking tips and tricks with us and shared some advice for those who might feel uninspired in the kitchen lately. Read his insights below! “I have gained all my skills from cooking myself and watching a ton of food content throughout my life,” Chef Ron tells us. He believes that cooking is an essential skill most people should have. “It allows you to take control of your diet, health and wealth.” “It is actually the driving factor behind why I started my social media account,” he admits. “I was super broke in college and the only way I could survive is by cooking all my meals. It was a very crucial and eye opening time of my life and I knew I could help people to start cooking.” “My meals in college were always super cheap, super delicious and very easy to make. Knowing the struggles I had to go through, and how much cooking helped me through that process, I knew that the meals would be helpful to a ton of other people too and that’s what made me start posting food content,” the creator tells Bored Panda. “I think it’s a mixed bag when it comes to cooking hacks because a lot of the hacks are actually very useful but there is definitely a large number of people who make irrelevant/useless hacks just to get engagement, views and favorable metrics for themselves,” the creator admits. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every cooking hack or trick is useless. “For example, a recent hack I saw was putting a tiny bit of oil around the rim of a pot before cooking pasta, and that way the water will not boil over at all. It actually works and is a super useful cooking hack,” Chef Ron says. “I have gone through several hours of cooking just by doing that and I always have a great time. It gets me excited to cook and come up with new recipe ideas. Recognize things that you really enjoy and add them onto your cooking process to make it more enjoyable. There’s always ways to make even mundane activities a lot more fun and exciting for yourself,” Chef Ron believes. Aarhus University researchers found that if we look at pictures of tasty food repeatedly, we can somewhat satisfy our hunger. “In our experiments, we showed that when the participants saw the same food picture 30 times, they felt more satiated than before they had seen the picture,” the author of the study Tjark Andersen explained.
