@basedbagel cooking well just takes some practice, and once you understand the basics, you can do quite a bit of new recipes and succeed on the first try.
My dad has a saying, "If you can read, you can cook. And some people can't read but still know how to cook, so you have no excuse."
Those who ever thought it is hard are usually just quitters who don't know how to put in real effort. Did anyone who sees cooking as hard ever strike you as smart and hard working?
