I tend to cook larger meals and I'm not opposed to just chucking shit in a slow cooker to make a stew thing. I generally cook (complexly) three times a week. On Sundays we usually make something to last a few days (especially as my partner suffers from migraines) and we keep emergency meal stuff around like sausages to pan fry for a simple dinner.

I, personally, don't really count pan frying some frozen perogies, eggs, or sausage as a "hobby" cook - that's just ten minutes on auto pilot to achieve sustenance... so I guess my personal suggestion for fun cookery is to start with one big meal a week and step up from there as you're comfortable. There are plenty of great recipes that you can cook a bunch of then enjoy over the next few days.
