Test: Can you say you know how to cook?

In one way or another, we can all cook, but not everyone can call themselves a cook; you need to have a bit more experience and some culinary resources to truly qualify as such. A couple of weeks ago, the renowned Scottish chef Gordon Ramsay declared the five specific dishes you should know how to prepare before you can call yourself a cook. Do you know how to make them all? Let's see: Burger It's not the pinnacle of world gastronomy, but one thing is true: everyone loves a good burger. It pleases the masses, and that's why it's important to know how to prepare one that is tasty, juicy, healthy, and appealing. Recommended recipe: Classic Burger A healthy breakfast Whether it's poached eggs, toast with avocado, or even an omelet, you should have a complete, healthy, and satisfying breakfast in your repertoire. Recommended recipe: Benedict Eggs with Ham A stew According to Chef Ramsay, one should know how to prepare at least one warm, homey stew. That type of dish that is made all together in a pot, which includes protein, vegetables, legumes, and of course, a liquid that binds all the flavors. Anything that can be simmered and results in a stew is valid. Recommended recipe: Mole de Olla A chicken dish Speaking of health, according to Gordon, one should know how to cook at least one chicken dish. It doesn’t matter if it's a Caesar salad with roasted chicken or marinated chicken; the idea is that it’s an easy, universally accepted ingredient, full of protein and with very little fat. Recommended recipe: Provençal Chicken A cake Just like with the burger, knowing how to make a delicious cake is about being able to please a large number of people. Whether it's a cheesecake or a chocolate cake, the idea is to have the skill to create a dessert that brings people together around the table. Recommended recipe: Classic Carrot Cake
