As I mentioned before, she's a talented cook because she knows how to handle ingredients. She always chooses fresh vegetables, fresh meat, and so on. She's also very skillful in handling spices, because you know, spices and flavors are crucial. If you add too much or too little, the taste won't be as intended.
