Your cooking skills can turn you into a legend.
If you know how to use bread and butter, some jam, and eggs, you know how to cook yourself a nice breakfast. If you know how to steam some rice and beans, cook dal, chop vegetables, and use spices, you know how to cook yourself a great lunch. If you know how to roast chicken and sauté some vegetables, you know how to make yourself a satisfying, low-calorie dinner. Every niche is about mastering the fundamentals. Once you have the fundamentals right, it becomes much easier for you. Whether you climb the hierarchy toward expertise or fuse those fundamentals with the skills you already have is your choice.
