* ''Literature/TeenPowerInc'': In ''The Missing Millionaire'', Kurt, the hotel cook, makes unappetizing-looking breakfasts for the guests that include overcooked eggs and especially shriveled stewed prunes. He actually is a good cook (as shown by the meals he makes for his boss) when he takes the time to make an effort, but he and his boss don't care about making the extra effort to make their guest's meals tasty.

** One of the few flaws that Isabelle Lightwood has is that she is absolutely terrible at cooking. Her mother is a decent cook, but she never taught her how to do it because she was afraid Isabelle would be told to StayInTheKitchen.
** Mark Blackthorn attempts to cook once, and ends up literally destroying a kitchen. Later on, he graduates to a CordonBleughChef; his specialty is "doughnut-sandwiches", which look as horrible as they sound, but are apparently rather delicious.

* ''Literature/DungeonCoreChatRoom'': The dungeons have a cooking competition, just for fun, although they don't really have a sense of taste and thus don't properly understand what they're doing. "Charred and salted" or "boil it in alcohol" is about the extent of their culinary knowledge. Amy, however, takes the cake, by accidentally turning her crab into a deadly virus instead of soup.

Ianthe's idea of how to cook soup is to burn an onion in the bottom of a pot full of water and then add some salt.

* At least one of Creator/MercedesLackey's ''[=SERRAted=] Edge'' books features a Sidhe warrior attempting to cook breakfast. Mind, the Sidhe ordinarily magic their food out of thin air... The sequence includes such gems as breaking the number of eggs required by the recipe and then "carefully picking out most of the shells" and figuring that hey, tomato paste, Tabasco... Both red sauces, a 1-1 substitution should be perfectly cromulent. He's also incapable (literally) of figuring out how to use a can opener on his own- elves in the setting have no creative ability whatsoever, they can only do things they've seen done before. This disaster actually becomes a major ''plot point'' instead of just a random funny. [[spoiler: He gives up after recognizing his failure and conjures the breakfast -- but doesn't do it sneakily enough: she can instantly tell that there's no way he actually could have cooked the gourmet meal he served her in her apartment's tiny kitchen, leading to her finding out that he's an elf.]]

This is compounded by his TranslatorMicrobes working ''too'' well and translating ingredients specific to her world as similar but distinct ones he was familiar with in Japan. He's actually a passable cook if he has a proper recipe, but the only thing he can make without one is custard pudding.
