I’m a good enough cook that several friends have seriously suggested I apply for Masterchef, but I have no interest in the restaurant side of the competition.
I’m not entirely sure, a lot of it is instinctive. My weakness is baking because I’m mostly a ‘measure by eye’ kind of cook and baking requires more precision than that. I guess I also have quite a good ability to imagine flavor; if I can imagine how a combination of ingredients will taste then it’ll usually be a pretty good meal even if I’ve never tried it before.
Also, I enjoy cooking which helps a lot. I like playing with good ingredients, learning how they react to different cooking techniques and so on. And I love to entertain and watch people eat food I’ve prepared. Food is love!
Ahhh that’s a big issue for me. Even when I’m tasting a spice I can’t figure out how it’ll make the dish taste (unless it’s obvious like chilli). Good links thanks!

Holy shit!! How did you get to that level?
