But claiming it’s really easy because you were lucky to have normal parents and have been doing it since you were kid, especially on a question that implies someone didn’t have the luxury, is not helping.
I don’t think they did that. The bit about cooking being easy and just a matter of following instructions was a completely separate paragraph to the anecdote about it being so easy they learned it when they were a child. And that was my takeaway, incidentally, not the whole “I started as a kid and now I’m a master chef and it’s all easy” but rather “9 year olds can figure this out, I’m sure an adult will have no problem picking up the basics”. You’re combining two separate things in search of a negative take.
I know, and I’m not saying that’s completely the wrong take, just that it’s almost certainly and pretty obviously (although maybe not immediately) not the one that was intended to be delivered.

I’m not searching for a negative take, I’m just saying how it looks to me. Not OP, not you, not anyone else, just me personally.
