Washington, Nov 28 : Despite taking cooking lessons, Hollywood star Penelope Cruz has confessed that she is not very accomplished in the kitchen department.

Contactmusic quoted the ''Nine'' actress as saying: "I can cook a little bit. I can cook a few Spanish dishes but it looks, in movies, that I cook much better than I cook. The things I can make, can taste pretty bad.

“I am not the most organized person in the kitchen but I took a lot of lessons.

“But my lessons were more like to be the assistant of a chef so I could learn to cut the vegetables very fast.

“I can do all of those things really well but then I''m not that good at cooking." (ANI)
