"When I see people share "fast" recipes on YouTube they involve jarred sauces, spaghettiOs and raisins." This really depends on the cuisine. I've really been getting in to Indian food recently and the recipes in it are nothing like what you're describing. Relatedly, one of my main complaints against American supermarkets is that they all seem to be catering towards makings Italian food. Some have "ethnic" food sections, but those tend to be tiny and mostly filled with Chinese/Japanese/Mexican food... And even there have nowhere near the selection of a grocery store specializing in that cuisine. American supermarkets also tend to be full of meat dishes, with few selections (outside the fresh fruit/vegetable isles) for vegetarians... Though that's been getting a little better in recent years in an some parts of the country.
