Most people don't cook, which is why restaurants exist.
>A "cook" is a professional title, and unless you're getting paid to do it,
Literally anyone can get paid to cook. Waffle House will pay you minimum wage and give you the exact title "cook." Does that really seem like an accomplishment to you?
That said I've never even heard anyone call themselves a "home cook." What I hear instead is "home cooking," ironically most often as a marketing tactic for describing a non-home restaurant's style of cooking.
