I'm not so sure about that; I don't know much cooking myself, but I 
always got the sensation that it's pretty important in any dish to know 
exactly when and how much to add of diferent spices (from salt to the 
really expensive ones), which is something Snape actually excels at: 
potions, and "the beauty of softly simmering fumes, the delicate power 
of liquids". That could apply to cooking, and most of the Harryverse 
potions tend to look like cooking with strange ingredients. Thus, if he 
had a good recipe (sp?), he'd probably would follow it long perfectly. 
What I wouldn't do is eat anything he hasn't tasted himself (and even 
then, I'd be cautious), but anything he'd preper would probably taste 
wonderful.

Hope that helps
