Cooking from looking at reels is quite an experience

My fyp page is almost filled with food reels, (im vegetarian so it's more catered to that ig)

I always save them and I have tried only a few of them.

For the ppl who cook, how do u do it and do u think it's useful for me to continue using insta as a way to learn cooking more? I'm not sure cos like sometimes the recipes don't add quantites.

I'm a bit of a newbie at this so kinda struggle if there's no proportion for things. I tried eyeballing yesterday when I tried making pesto pasta.... didn't turn out so great. I guess maybe it's a bit of a jump and relying on multiple recipes online would help too, altho doomscrolling this way's been a bit productive cos I feel like i'm developing a hobby (lol)

How do u guys cook? Is it mainly just recipes u find online or does anyone do kinda what I do?
