Eddie Kaspbrak is a horrible cook. He always overcooks foods like chicken because he's terrified of getting salmonella. He can't properly season things "to taste" because he doesn't know how much salt means "to taste". He hates recipes that don't tell him exactly what to do, and that means he hates most recipes.
However, he's a great baker, because baking is always precise.
Everything has an exact measurement and time and temperature that it needs to be at for it to be perfect. There's no question of how much or how little, it's all there. It's chemistry, a science.
People are always shocked trying his baking because it's so good, but the paella he brought to the office last week was horrible.
