Before the apocalypse, both of them had good educations and jobs.
And because of their work, they were rarely home and seldom cooked for themselves. You could say they were clueless when it came to cooking.
After the apocalypse, they had to fend for themselves, but there was nothing back then. Even when they found food, they ate it raw or with minimal preparation.
After entering the base, everyone ate together in the cafeteria. There was no opportunity to cook.
Even though Louis Grant's room had a kitchenette that allowed him to cook for himself, he had never once used it.
Today was the first time he had ever used the small kitchen in his room.
If it weren't to celebrate meeting Stella again, he never would have set foot in the kitchen.
But he was never a good cook to begin with, and after several years in the apocalypse, he had forgotten even the little he once knew.
