I have a theory that if you're bad at cooking from scratch, it's probably because you currently:

1) suck at math and/or science

2) have performance anxiety

3) are over eager, impatient, and can't follow directions

So when I think about people who I know that can't cook from base ingredients, it seems that 3 is the problem a majority of the time while people who just don't attempt to even try typically have 2 or are simply lazy or don't have the time. Rarely does 1 apply, but some people really can't comprehend the difference between a simmer and a boil or burnt vs crispy.

Canonly, Hinata is a great cook, and I figure she most likely has been making her own clan ointment in batches as needed since she was fairly young, which shows she's good at concocting things in general. She has a good eye for details like that, byakugan or no byakygan, and could probably tweak first time borrowed recipes to make them even more satisfying and personalized for whomever she's cooking for, because she's sweet and notices and cares enough to do so and I love that <3 She also probably actually enjoys cooking since it's one way to show her love but it's very fun if you enjoy food in general!

I highly doubt Kiba has the patience to cook a good, balanced meal from scratch, but he certainly could manage to not burn instant or microwavable foods, and maybe make like... okay spaghetti or meat dishes with not too many sides. He'd probably grill pretty well, yet marinating would not be his forte. Though being somewhat feral, he'd probably be one of those people who'd eat literal raw steak, ew. And even if he could muster the patience, I feel like 2 would apply because he'd probably only put in more effort in order to impress someone, causing mistakes here and there. Nothing wrong with a simpler meal of course, but I don't think he'd make good sauces or use spices very efficiently without a lot of practice, haha. Like, I bet he'd struggle some trying to make tonkatsu for the first time, sauce and all. rip lol

As for Shino, I feel he has the potential to be an excellent cook as well. None of the above apply. However, Shino is a delicate type when it comes to his physical inner workings, so he probably wouldn't be super practiced beyond simple and fresh or mild foods like salads or not-so-spicy stir fry, maybe some homemade glazes and dressings if he cared for them (because forget store bought, he probably likes some control over it's contents as well for his sensative self). Unless he used to cook special for Shibi more frequently before he also got busy with ninja life, assuming Shibi isn't as delicate as Shino. Or maybe he still does, which would be really cute and extra special <3
