As you may have guessed, this is usually a comedy trope. In eastern media, most examples are female (emphasizing that they fail at [[FeminineWomenCanCook an aspect of traditional femininity]], or femininity in general, or that they're something of an ActionGirl, but increasingly used purely for the {{Moe}} factor), and in Japan is known as メシマズ or "meshimazu", but there are a ton of male examples in western media, probably tying in to the assumption that MenCantKeepHouse and DadsCantCook.

DadsCantCook. Even the most chauvinistic of men with a "StayInTheKitchen" attitude towards women wants the exceptional lethal chef to Stay ''out of'' the Kitchen.

I intend to move this to the name Flower Angel soon, as the series' name was changed from Flower Fairy.


* In ''Animation/FlowerFairy'', An'an's father is so bad at cooking that anyone who eats his food {{waterfall puke}}s on the spot. An'an knows this all too well and actively avoids eating her father's food at any opportunity.

* In ''Advertising/AVeryMuppetPortalCampaign'', the Swedish Chef and Beaker use Facebook Portal to cook, and Chef attempts to explain a soup recipe to Beaker. Despite Chef clearly ([[TheUnintelligible well, as clearly as you can expect from the Swedish Chef]]) saying "pepper", Beaker picks up every item in the room ''except'' the pepper to put in the soup, some of which aren't even edible. Eventually, Beaker gets the pepper, but when he sprinkles some into the pot, the entire thing boils over into a huge mess. In another (unrelated) spot, Beaker is seen burning something in the microwave, which gets Bunsen concerned.
