We take it for granted, but being able to cook is a kind of magical skill. Those that have the ability to take a few storecupboard ingredients and some scraps from the back of the fridge and turn it into a tasty family dinner are a very valuable people to have around.

However, as the saying goes, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. When we have the good fortune of tasting a culinary masterpiece, we have to appreciate that this almost always comes off the back of plenty of practice and trial and error.

While they may joke about it, cooking memes understand this idea well. Not every recipe is going to go to plan, and not every night are we going to be cooking up a multi-course feast. Food can be a risky business, but it also has the potential to be a funny one.
