Before this thread I’d never heard of him, and I suspect the same is true of many.
The eggs he cooked were not to human tastes, but Worf loved them. Dr Pulaski was apparently impressed with his earlier efforts as well.
Come to think of it, Captain Kirk cooked omelettes too (with dill, I think).
Well, Worf is a fan.
I seen to recall Cannon could cook - he certainly could eat
No mention of Marie Barone yet?
I’d argue she still counts, since, given the game’s full immersion nature, the food actually has flavour, and, while the mechanics of cooking are likely at least partially abstracted she was highly skilled at mixing those flavours, which is a big part of cooking. (She was even able to recreate real-world foods, even though the in-game ingredients weren’t designed to do that.)
There’s a Nero Wolfe cookbook out there. It includes little summaries of where in which story the dish can be found.
I haven’t seen a Spencer cookbook, but there’s a fan recipe site online - or there was. It’s been awhile since I went looking.
Cinderella the Rhymer says that there is a picture of an hourglass next to your name. Is this new?
Given that the series started off in Boston, where Elliot apparently lived, I always took it that he was the child of the gumshoe mentioned in the OP.
Elliot is more like a comic book character than a hardboiled detective. His super power is apparently to do anything he puts his mind to. Which would make him Bruce Wayne’s kid (if we pretend that Batman is heterosexual).
No probably about it. His crew considered it a genuine treat to be invited to his place for dinner, and he had the common parental “problem” of a grown child visiting looking for a home-cooked meal.
It’s a very distinctive super power.
Hugh Akston in Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. At least he made a great hamburger.
There are also cookbooks inspired by Goodfellas, The Sopranos, and Gilligan’s Island.
Yeah, avatars are a thing now. Anyone who wants can have one. They’re limited to 50 by 50 pixels, though.
And speaking of cookbooks, Nanny Ogg, Discworld’s second-greatest witch, also has one. Though her recipes are more noted for their, ahem, other effects.
Mary Ann has always made my banana cream. :o
Was that sort of crudeness really necessary?
I don’t remember Kirk ever cooking. Remind me when?
Does telling that cupboard what you want to eat count as cooking? 
Parker, Lord Peter Wimsey’s manservant is quite a proficient cook :-not gourmet level, but he can fry a steak and roast a duck (to cite two things I recall him cooking in the books). We’re not explicitly told how good his food is, but it’s good enough for Wimsey, a known gourmand.
