What is a food that you want to cook but you know you'll never have the motivation to make? (lemmy.world)

So I have this problem... I enjoy cooking and when my grandmother passed away, I inherited her recipe book and her Le Creuset dutch oven.

THEN I discovered I lived a short drive from a Le Creuset outlet store AND they have a mailing list that regularly delivers 30% to 70% off coupon deals.

So I'll find a pan that makes me go "Oooh!" then I look for excuses to use it.

So it's not really a lack of motivation, but rather I want people to cook for. Cooking just for me? Incredibly lazy. "More time to make and clean up than eat? I'm not making it." Cooking for OTHER people?
