Cooking

Though still not great at cooking food when heat is required, Tyson is best at cooking fish. He can usually guess how long they need on the spit before burning, but that’s simply having cooked them more when surviving on his own. A combination of ‘I need to eat this and live’ & ‘I need to eat this, not immediately throw it up again’ were strong teachers.
When it doesn’t require heat, Tyson can actually make rather delicious food. This includes being able to make different types of sushi.
Ice-cream is one of the things outside of ‘needs heat’ cooking that Tyson can actually make delicious versions of. 
Bread is amongst those foods that Tyson knows how to make and, whilst he’ll spend half the time whining about how the dough sticks to his hands, making bread is something Tyson genuinely enjoys doing. He finds it to be a very satisfying process and he’s always proud of what he makes. 
Though he usually favours buying fresh coffee when going to meet with the Moriarty Mirrors, Tyson will carry around a flask of coffee that he brewed himself too. Typically, Tyson will make Turkish brew coffee (finding the way it’s made rather relaxing), but he’s also been known to make a fantastic drip cold brew.
As a general rule of thumb, there are only a handful of foods that Tyson knows how to make, but - outside of fish - when Tyson knows how to cook something, he will make the most delicious, Michelin quality versions of those foods.
Despite his apathy towards eating and general disinclination towards all foods regardless of taste, Tyson actually has a rather good palette. He can tell when a different ingredient has been used in a dish, how to compliment flavours with each other, and what herb/spice is missing for most types of food straight away.
