Data point for a Gobble consumer with around 60 dishes (3 per week) and very little prior cooking experience: they usually take me 15 - 20 minutes (which i'm perfectly happy with).

With modern data warehouses like BigQuery & Snowflake, this is no longer true. We at Fivetran get people setup with a BI tool, warehouse and data pipelines in a day. From there, its all SQL with little to no management of the underlyi
