I'm the best cook here..
[Coffee]
I learned because I thought my mom's cooking was good and I was a picky eater so I figured I better learn to take care of myself. Parents especially dad made sure we could clean house and take care of ourselves. No need to find a woman because she cooks.
In law school I lived alone so for 2.5 yrs I had to take care of myself. Cooked big on many Sundays to have leftovers. Over the last 10+ years developed it more. I love prime rib for holidays and always complained that turkey at holidays was dried out and bland, so I figured out how to cook it myself. Plus with elk hunting we need to have some way to make God's finest meat plaatable to the non believers.
One suggestion is cruise websites, I like tonys market, food network and Epicurus to find recipes. I look at a couple and kind of combine 2 or 3. Also for something special like prime rib, keep a note card or journal each time you make it with comments. Then you know which temperature, spice mix, or other details work for your family, especially because you don't cook it enough to really get experienced. I started for sausage and other things too.
I can handle most of the basics but I don't really know the nitty gritty about cooking. I can't tell you which herbs/spices are interchangeable, what items compliment each other, etc. But give me a recipe and I'm not lost in the kitchen.
Hell yeah I can cook, in the kitchen, on the BBQ, over an open fire. And very well. Cooking is an art/science like reloading. The right stuff in the right proportions and you got a winner.....
Talking about food.. Seattle Fish Company just dropped off 50 lbs of fish.

Now that I am divorced, I have to cook. When I was married I did about 30%, which was mostly Poultry and Beef. I prepare all the large holiday dinners.
