Web dev here. I started a small food called https://thatfijitaste.com just to do something different, express my love for food and log the uniqueness of Fijian / Indo Fijian food.
Realized a few years later that it gets decent traffic from all over the world and slapped some google ads on it which now pays for hosting cost etc.
I would definitely recommend starting a blog/ recipe api or youtube channel to harness both your skills.
