Sounds like an American to me. I just don't think your ancestry gives you the "right" to do or not do a specific kind of cooking. What does is training, dedication, and research.

What I think gives a person a right to cook any type of cooking is to prevent starvation.
So are you saying because I'm not trained, I shouldn't cook?
Did your parent cook or did they pay someone? Are your parents professional chefs?
Because you don't need training or research to cook.
Or to make decent food. I have been cooking longer than Mr. Bayless.
But yet, you imply that I can't cook because I wasn't privileged enough to be discovered by a tv channel.
The best recipes are from home cooks not from someone that has underlings to do more than half the work.
Look, Rick may have great Mexican food, but please give credit to your mom/dad/older relative that cooked for you when you were growing up. I am assuming he/she was a decent cook. Or if not, it inspired you to learn to cook.
Yes, I do know a couple of people that really couldn't cook. But their kids are good cooks.
