“I'm a terrible cook.”
I've heard variations of this line from dozens of people. W\e often carry negative associations with cooking because of an unsuccessful attempt at following an overcomplicated recipe. The recipes we find in books, online, have 20 different ingredients, none of which we have stocked in our cupboards. To buy all of the spices in the recipe, we spend a fortune, a gross misrepresentation of the amount of savings accrued from cooking meals at home. Making matters worse, the directions are ambiguous and our attention spans do not have the capacity to decipher culinary code come dinner.
