I'm not saying my mother can't cook but whenever I talk about dinner and people ask me if mom cooks it I give them a funny look. My dad is an amazing chef and if I knew even 1/20th of the recipes he knows I would be able to entertain a woman for the entire year.

How sad is that.

I myself know how to cook a bunch of different meals but because of laziness and practicality I resort to staples. That said, I refer you to 'wat can you cook lol' thread.
