 And there's nothing immediately strange about watching somebody cook. I've been known to enjoy a cooking show or two in my time. But usually you watch somebody cook because they're a master chef and you're watching in order to learn their techniques. Or else they're an amateur chef and you're watching to see Gordon Ramsay verbally abuse them for overcooking a salmon or whatever. What I don't quite understand is watching someone cook alone in their kitchen when they apparently aren't even familiar with the rudimentary basics of cooking.
