Cooking is in an honest profession where you cannot hide and let others do the work for you. You have to show up, work hard and prove you can do it faster and better. And find a mentor who will recognize your talent and push you in the right direction.

To become a good cook is to know yourself, and I, at this point, know myself. I know myself, and I know the cook I want to be and the cook I am striving to be.

I'm a terrible cook.

I feel like there's a lot of tasks in cooking that I want to master, that I want to do better.

I'm trying to learn how to cook.

I am not a fancy cook or an ambitious cook. I am a plain old cook.

I'm a decent cook, and I will try to cook anything. My only weakness is that I don't know servings - I only know how to make a lot.

I have so many friends who don't know how to cook.

I'm not a trained chef. I'm a self-taught cook, and I want people to be like, 'Yo, I could do that! Maybe I didn't think to or maybe it seemed harder than it really is.'

It's not really the life of cooking that's hard - it's what you make of it and what level you push yourself to.
