2020 has been the year that a lot of us have tried to up our culinary skills. Or in my case…try to find any at all to begin with. It’s been an interesting journey, but not an easy one. Of course, there are always plenty of people on Twitter musing about anything and everything that’s going on with them, and our various collective food and cooking misadventures are no exception.
Here are 14 great food tweets to make you confident enough to slap Gordon Ramsey right in the face.
