The world has changed from coronavirus, and with people urged to stay at home, there’s been a huge rise in at-home cooking.
For some people, this means changing their diet to more homemade recipes, trying out old family recipes, or honing in on their cooking skills. For others, it’s a test to not burn down the kitchen. Here are just some of the many eating and cooking fails from Twitter.
