I second learning to cook - it’s a skill valuable in good times and bad and really helps you to eat cheaply and healthily if you are mindful of your ingredients.

There are tons of helpful videos to get you started. I recommend Bon Appétit’s Test Kitchen on YouTube

Also, I've never met a partner who doesn't appreciate it!

And in terms of amortizing time spent learning, it's hard to beat getting better at something you do every day. Sometimes multiple times!

My partner's cooking is so good that restaurants food taste like paper to me. It has its downsides as well, I am eating much more and gained weight and getting into diet is hard.
