I agree, but if you do not have much experience cooking, uncomplicated recipes are a good way to start if you don't have anyone to help teach you, or you aren't comfortable having someone help.
Cooking is one of the things I use to try to maintain balance. When I started it was a disaster. Basic recipes, learning the fundamentals, was great. I still fought the rigidity, but understanding how a braise actually worked helped immensely.
I had someone ask me today what I was eating, 'just leftovers' what is it, smells great 'Indian corn curry' you know how to cook Indian food? (I thought of course I do) I said yes. What's in it? Well you do this, then this... Then I info dumped on them and I'm pretty sure they regretted asking.
