During the pandemic I really up leveled my cooking, even enrolling in online culinary school. YouTube was a huge inspiration, as well as some books and blogs. Throughout all of that one of my main inspirations was Kenji. His articles on Serious Eats and his book The Food Lab are basically a bible of how to cook correctly in a way that makes sense to the engineering minded, and his YouTube channel is low-fi, super approachable, and unpretentious. He's one of the most important voices today in empowering home cooks.
