Only just recently, yes. Though it's nothing very special...just solid chocolate poured into molds and decorated a little. [Really, she got lucky in learning to make them. Chocolate-making is hard as all hell. If her skills were horrible from the beginning, Perona's sure she would have burned more than the bottom of one pan the day she first tried.] ...And I had to learn to cook. If I didn't I would have starved. The two people I was living with weren't very...accommodating when they were busy, or out.

[Training, she means. Zoro and Mihawk wander and train too damn much. Plus, with Zoro getting lost ALL THE TIME, she really did have to learn. Like hell Mihawk would have catered to her and made her food all the time she asked for it.]

And I purchased cookbooks once I possessed a ship to sail with. Or found some in the castle. Simple things I could already make.
