Probably better than it sounds.

I can't think of anything I've made that was inedible, even the plastic
wrapped canned ham tasted fine.

That's not to say I haven't made dishes that ... let's just say, I
didn't hear You can make that again! Follow the recipe and it just
wasn't that good.

Which leads me to my other thought, people who wind up with something
inedible probably are good cooks because they try to make recipes
with what they have on hand. It's not always going to work out the
way they pictured it.

This does not excuse liver and tomato soup. Heh.
