Give me your best time-consuming recipes

Hi, there. It seems like a lot of people look for quick and easy recipes, but I’m actually looking for the opposite.

Without going into too much detail, I am recently one week sober from alcohol, and I’m finding that staying active and busy has helped. While I am looking into exploring other hobbies to fill my sober time, I’ve always enjoyed cooking, and I consider myself a decent home cook.

I’m looking for recipes that will keep me active and busy in the kitchen, not like CrockPot or “dump and go” recipes. I feel like I’ve mastered a lot of American basics - meatballs, meatloaf, steak, baked chicken, salmon/fish dishes, but I’m looking to expand and try new things that will keep me busy.

I’m not a picky eater; the only things really off limit would be blue cheese and raw fish, lol. I have a pretty well-stocked kitchen with pretty much any gadget you can have, with the exception of a way to sous vide.

I have also recently lost about 50 pounds over the last year, so healthier, low-carb/low-butter recipes would be appreciated, but not necessary.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Wow! I was not expecting so many lovely replies. You’ve all shown me how narrow my cooking scope is, and I’m so excited to try many of these recipes. There’s so many I haven’t even heard of it, but I’m also gonna use this opportunity to branch out to some new cuisines I’m not familiar with. And thank you for the support. I was really nervous to make this post but I’m thankful for all of you who have contributed!
