I saw a twitter ship pool for CXS&LG on "who is more likely to do what", and when it comes to being the best cook, I guess the canonically better cook of the trio* wasn't winning by slandslide bc in non-strictly canon material, LG cooks more (manhua, audio drama)
That does give the opportunity to think of how they possibly approach cooking, tho.
Like, LG is methodical. He probably won't do a phenomenal job at it (it's part of his whole "having no special skills is a skill"), but he's the type who follows a recipe. He probably does pretty decent, tasty even. Meanwhile, CXS didn't have people in his life who were willing to teach so he's likely mostly self-taught. He did have to fend for himself from early on, so he probably learned to make food he finds delicious (from the way he got inspired by the noodle lesbian's recipe, he seems to be a quick learner when it's hands-on)
Speaking of, it's cute how LG's and CXS' yingdu's profile differs a little from their current ones. In his likes, CXS doesn't yet lists "cooking" as the present him does, nor does LG lists "eating" as his current one~
*Not only he's the only one in canon/donghua being shown cooking, Li Haoling laoshi answered this question on twt
