His talents in the kitchen are very… Limited.
Need so tea? He makes the best! Need an actual, out it in a pan and cook it meal? Yeah not so much.
His specialties are basically tea, rice, cereal, and pasta
But not pasta pasta… Legit he can cook the noodles and thats it
Its very similar to making rice
And its not that he doesn’t try, its just that our little perfectionist has bad timing
Its either under cooked or overcooked
And if its not that its something else, such as too much flour, not enough water, too much salt
Leo making dinner often requires all of the bros, just to make sure something is edible by the end of it
He’s very insecure about it, but he hides it pretty well
You know what he’s amazing at? Drinks. Any drinks really, alcoholic or not
Speaking of tea he doesn’t use bags but actual herbs and leaves and roots and stuff in a small metal steeper (he ~fancy~)
What he does make he makes it to the utmost perfection
He can do cooking, but baking is a little difficult because its a lot more measuring then he likes
Very rarely doss he cook, but its always something good
Raph is partial to really filling meals, so that’s what he makes most often
He’s the fave bro to cook during winter because of this
He most often helps Leo in the kitchen; its the one place they get along
He tends to break plates a lot? Like he always presses too hard on them and they just crack
His timing is perfect??? Like how???
He makes a kick ass hot chocolate too
Rich and warm its literally the best thing on gods earth (so Mikey tells him)
Can make a kick ass Mexican food
For some reason he can never do soups
They have so many steps, and he’s more the throw-it-in-the-pot-and-go type guy
Donnie fixes a crock pot for him
The best meal of his and his fams life
He can cook just about anything
He makes dinner the most often
But be wary; he likes to experiment
He is amazing at breads. After all his years of pizza loving it finally paid off when he started making his own
It was a little rocky but it turns out amazing once he figures out the right rations
He loves sweets but they can sometimes be a hit or miss
While his food is amazing, the kitchen is always a mess after
“The cost of perfection man” - Mikey to an angry Splinter
He blasts music while cooking
You can tell what mood and what he’s making by this
He’s the best at accommodating his bros particular taste demands
Raph and Master Splinter likes things spicier, while Leo prefers it a little plainer. Donnie likes rich flavor to things
Mikey is magic when it comes to pizza obvs
After all its basically science?
He himself has a sweet tooth, so thats what he makes most often vs an actual dinner
Hes really good at curry though
The blend of spices fascinates him
He tries to help Leo, but it gets a little too scientific sometimes
He enjoys experimenting like Mikey, but its more controlled
Instead of just throwing things together he measures this much of this spice and that much of the other spice…
He seriously has lab notes
Like Raph he cooks very rarely
Splinter actually enjoys his cooking the most because he also enjoys sweeter things
Is by far the neatest when he cooks due to needing a neat area to perform experiments
His crème brulé is the bomb diggity
For the first few years he didnt actually cook, but scavenged instead
The turtles were maybe a couple years old and developing teeth before he found a tattered beginners cook book
Unlike Raph, he makes an amazing soup
Once the boys hit their preteens he started teaching them how too cook, and now that they’re almost adults they do most of the cooking
He cooks on special occasions
Because he raised the boys during times where food may or not have been scarce, he tends to make too much food in order to store some for later
Its a habit thats never left him
He is very patient in the kitchen, but enjoys pretty flavorful dishes
Mexican, Indian, Chinese he enjoys making all of these dishes
Once April came around he started to cook a little more because he could ask her to get him ingredients
The boys love his cooking to death because a) they don’t have to do it and b) Splinter a damn good cook
When Leo was younger he was extremely frustrated by his lack of culinary skills, so Splinter allowed him to make the pastas and rice for the meals; thats how he became so good at making them
