quite some time ago my aunt was over and somehow it came up that I knew my way around a kitchen.

"I hear you're quite the cook."

I didn't want to take too much misdirected credit so I said "Well, I don't actually cook much, I bake." When some other family members joined the conversation, my aunt quoted me as chastising her by saying "I don't cook! Madam. I bake."

I actually just added the 'madam' now for effect. I guess embellishment runs in the family.

...

I heard you're either a baker or a cook...er, so now I cook as well.

I actually cook because I like to eat, I bake because I like to bake.
