Cooking is perfect for what you're asking: It's relatively easy to be great at it: To make something taste great, you only need to learn sporadically over months (because restaurants cook in batches and are time/cost-sensitive). It's substantially easier to make something taste on par with professionals, compared to other skills like drawing. You can do a lot of modifications and trade-offs to your liking - easily adjust things to your taste, lower the cost, be more healthy, or make the cooking process faster. You can share with people you love. Invite friends to cook with you. And show off on social media though I rather not. With that being said, just start simple, don't stockpile gadgets. It's more about skill and less about hardware. In Chinese cooking, a professional chef can cook hundreds of dishes with no more than five dirt-cheap cookwares.
