I can't cook anything using a recipe. Anything I make following a recipe(even simple stuff) always turns out odd and different from what anyone else gets, and generally not for the better.
It's not so bad, I get to learn through trial and error, which probably occasionally results in stuff much better than generic recipes can make, but I make awful crap that sounded good in my head just as often as I say things that are dumb but sounded good in my head, which is often. Also stuff I can make that I know is good is fairly limited and often just has a bunch of cheese, meat, and/or rice in it with one or two extra things.
