The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the regular lifestyle of each and every person, making simplest of the simple things like going out for work or to a restaurant or meeting people impossible for them. As a result everyone is indulging in different creative activities to keep themselves busy and entertained; cooking being one of them.

For example, people are making pizza sauce at home when they are not getting the ready-made pizza spreads from the grocery stores.
