If you really think about it, isn't doing most things simply a matter of following a recipe? You have a list of ingredients, you figure out the way to combine them, then you go ahead with your method and hope for the best. In this way, even those people who claim that they can't cook are following the process that comes from being in the kitchen.

Memes are not exempt from this formula, and in fact, many of them followed tried and true recipes for internet humor to provide their impact. That is why cooking memes feel like such a match made in heaven. Not only do many people have a secret desire to play with their food, but the building blocks of memes are perfectly compatible with those of cooking a meal. The memes that can be found here are here to prove that, even if they leave an aftertaste.
