At the beginning, when the Sangha were flourishing, Lama Yeshe got all the monks and nuns to take turns cooking for the other Sangha. One nun didn’t know how to cook, so when it was her turn, she put some vegetables in oil then served them raw.

If you know how to make food, it is very beneficial. The highest benefit, bringing great purification of negative karma and delusions and collecting merit, is to offer delicious food to the guru. You can also make so many people happy by making delicious food for them.

So, bodhisattvas, they learn anything to benefit for sentient beings.
