"Read the whole recipe before you touch anything including the directions. Then get all the ingredients together and measured before anything touches heat. Chop vegetables slice meat mix spices. Cooking is so much easier when you do the prep first and then just worry about what’s in the pan when the heat is on. What do you think the kitchen does all afternoon between lunch and dinner service, get things together so the actual cooking is way faster and easier."
I think you got downvoted because you were not polite.
Not because what you tried to say is untrue.
I’m an American and I guarantee I’m a better cook than you.
For what it's worth an american just won a worldwide chef contest on Netflix consisting of the best chefs in the world.
I should point out that he was classically trained in French cuisine.
