Honestly this probably kinda describes my family, depending on how you interpret it.
My brother and I, and my dad's wife are all really into cooking now though
Can you elaborate what about your family could be interpreted as "not a big food family"? I just have so many ideas but none feel like how I'd immediately describe it. Because ultimately it sounds like a family that takes no pleasure or joy from a meal. Even sharing or preparing one together.

I mean yeah that's pretty much it. My dad's cooking is unseasoned cucumber in a pan with some grocery-store veggie balls, which is not enough for 2-3 people. My mom's cooking is much better, but it's cooked more out of expectation than enjoyment. Eating together is expected but not enjoyed for its own merits afaik.
Desserts are the exception usually. Still, it messed up with my relationship to food, made it a lot worse than it could have been. Eating full meals with someone makes me gag, I have trouble eating normal quantities.
