Cooking coinages

A new Boston Globe column, “May I Have a Word?” featured newly created terminology about running out of cooking mojo during the pandemic:
MELANCOOKERY
MEALANCHOLY
MELANSCULLERY
MELONCHOLIA
COOKED OUT
DISENCHEFMENT
COOK HOOKY
REFUSAUTÉ
GOURMEH
I like mealancholy and gourmeh best, although I am not among the afflicted. Cook hooky is a great name for ordering takeout, though.
