Stop watching Food Network or the myriad of food channels on YT. Cooking ain't that hard.
Can you follow the most basic of basic directions like "preheat oven to 350F" or "mix ingredient X with ingredient Y"? Yeah, of course you can. But it is in the food industry's best interest in making it look far more complicated than it really is.
Lmao you're out of your mind. There's no big conspiracy of the food industry making cooking look harder than it is. I got really into home cooking from watching all those cooking shows and YouTubers and then trying the recipes out myself. Virtually every cooking content creator out there makes content because they want to share the love of cooking, not scare people away from it. Channels like Binging With Babish, You Suck At Cooking, Alton Brown, J. Kenji Lopez Alt, etc are all fantastic resources for people who want to learn to cook.
You ever try to make rough puff pastry? Good luck with that. Let us know how easy it is.
That looks a lot like filo dough. I've made cheese pie and spinach pie before. It's not that hard. I don't like spinach though.
