gideon definitely would be thrust into adulthood not knowing how to cook but i think she'd eventually take a knack to it just because she loves food and wants to make delicious things
I think it would take her a LONG time to learn how to cook, with absolutely no skills. i honestly think harrow would be better at it as long as she doesn’t have to taste anything because she’s so precise. I’m honestly torn if Gideon would ever become a “good” cook or if she would be a good cook in a modern au.
I just think that with Gideon being interested in the Way Food Tastes that she would be a better cook than harrow in a domestic setting (though I agree it would take her a while to figure out) bc Harrow is precise but does not care what it tastes like? Like, Harrow would be good at baking. She could follow recipes! But in terms of Freeform Cooking I’m Throwing Dinner Together Gideon can think well on her feet so she’d pick it up.
I dont think harrow would care enough about food to Become Good At Cooking, but she would enjoy making things for Gideon that she knows Gideon likes. :)
Ok I relent! But I would totally read a fic that takes place of them being horrible at domestic tasks for the first year of peace
