Yes but is what you cook edible?

I've been practising some time now and the results are not good. The missus can knock up some grub in 5 minutes that tastes better than anything I make. In any event I don't really cook. I tip out from a can (beans). Chop up fresh green beans. Add tomato strips, kimchi, potato pieces, very small pastry sachets (containing vegetable matter) olive oil and pepper. If I deviate from this diet I stop up and die. Simple as that. Sorry to be indelicate.
