+107 A good amateur chef cooks better than half the restaurants available, amirite?

There's a difference between cooking for fun for a few people, and doing it basically on industrial scale. The dishes in restaurants are more standardized and catered to general publicity than your relative's/friend's dish that they prepared thinking of you.

That's true. I don't think you can reach the level of a trained chef as an amateur. Many restaurants rely on convenience and spend most of their time in the kitchen opening bags. You can do this better at home with time and love.

Cooking is an art (as is any craft if you love it enough tbh) Doing art for personal reasons will produce better results than doing art for production, and it holds especially true in the case of cooking because you know your own/your friends' palate. The average restaurant also has generic food with few if any alterations because it caters to the average person. But the TLDR version is this: my grandma is, for me, the best cook in the whole world. Hope that's "nuff said" :D

That is a sweet perspective. What food do you enjoy most from your grandma?
