It’s a hex placed on their family line in generations past, for some unknown sleight committed against a witch or something. They’re cursed to forever burn any food they try to cook.
Anecdote to confirm what you’re saying: my grandpa had to learn to cook in his 80s when his wife became too disabled to do it. In the beginning, she was giving him instructions the whole time. He’s become decent at it. It’s never too late.
