"Home cooks" don't exist.

[Anonymous No.17746718]

CHANGE MY MIND
A "cook" is a professional title, and unless you're getting paid to do it, you're just some dude making food to eat like everyone else. Pretty much the same as an experienced housewife.

Similarly, kicking a ball in your backyard doesn't make you a footballer.

A cook isn't a profession, it's a job. Some people get paid to do the job, some people don't. A person who looks after his garden is a gardener, because gardening is also not a profession.

A housewife is literally a home cook though
She gets financial support from her husband to cook and tend to other things
Therefore she does it in a professional fashion

Look up the definition of job and come back.
If you're not professionally trained, you're not a gardener. You're just some dude that mows his lawn like every other normal person.

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.

It makes you a “backyard footballer”, same as cooking at home makes you a “home cook”.

The fact is you and I and everyone else know what is meant by "home cook" because it's common parlance and that's all that matters. That's how language works. If you want to use your own terms then feel free.

"Cooking" has a second usage these days which doesn't just mean "applying heat to make raw food edible" but instead encompasses the common skills and techniques of creating established dishes from scratch. That's the usage in place when people use "cook" as a noun and that's why it refers to home cooks more than it does to professional sandwich heaters at Subway.

>Dumbass fucking takes from people that didn't even bother to look up the dictionary definition of "cook".
First 3 results on Google:
>a person who prepares food for eating
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cook#:~:text=1%20%3A%20a%20person%20who%20prepares,cooked%3B%20cooking%3B%20cooks

>a person who cooks food or whose job is cooking
Notice the key word "or", meaning it can be either one or the other.
oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/cook_2

>someone who prepares and cooks food, either as their job or for pleasure
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cook_2

Moreover, even if you were correct in your guess at what the dictionary definition of "cook" as a noun is, a dictionary's job is to describe common usage and it can't be 100% correct all of the time given that language evolves constantly. Many of the semantic choices you make day-to-day would have been deemed incorrect 200, 100 or even 50 years ago. The only correct language is what's commonly agreed upon and understood.

>How about this: go apply to a 3 Michelin star restaurant and say you have >15 years of experience as a cook. When they ask you where you worked, say "I just made food at home". See how they respond.
Would be a good point if you hadn't deliberately ignored context in order to make it. If you're seeking consideration for a professional role, there's an unspoken expectation that any experience you talk about is going to be professional unless stated otherwise. That has no bearing on other contexts of the word. You could describe someone as a good cook, a good driver, a good violin player, and that would bear no indication that they do it in a professional capacity. On the other hand, if you ask somebody "what do you do?" then there is a common expectation that you're referring to their professional vocation.

I doubt I'll change your mind though since you're not in the mood to be convinced despite "change my mind" in the title.

The purpose of this thread was to bait an autistic moron into spazzing out. I thought I almost gave it away when I said Macen Cheese, or that "chef" just means "cook" in French. The purpose of this thread has been achieved and it can now rest. I will re-make it in about six months.

PS there's no more effeminate hobby in the world than cooking. It's the single activity delegated to women since the dawn of mankind. Being a cook is the same as taking cock up the ass. The only based person ITT is >>17747641.
