Your grandmother was probably an excellent cook. Your mom, too. And you . . . might be? It’s hard to say, since you really don’t cook enough to have an answer one way or another.

A new survey found the average person only knows how to cook five meals or less without a recipe.

One in three say they only try a new recipe about once a year.

One in eight say they wouldn’t trust themselves to cook anything without a recipe — not even an omelet.

Also, people are much more likely to get their recipes from their mothers than their fathers. Half of women say they learned how to cook their best meals from their mother — only 5 percent got them from their fathers.
