Well now, that's an entirely different matter. There are plenty of people historically who cooked all the time, and were never able to become good cooks, largely because they hated it.
To those people have one word: Soup.
Yes, chop some veggies, toss in the leftover chicken and some basil and walk away.
You want to find those five magic recipes that you can stand to make, which usually means you can go to the next room and watch TV without it going terribly wrong. Soup. And the old roast in the oven with sliced carrots and some potatoes dumped in.
You can feel secure in the knowledge that, for all the fancy fandango your typcial Cook can do, most of them are doing the same thing.
