alt Hacker NewsIsn't that still considered cooking? If I describe the dish I want, and someone else makes it for me, I was still the catalyst for that dish. It would not have existed without me. So yes, I did cook it.

The person who actually cooked it cooked it. Being the "catalyst" doesn't make you the creator, nor does it mean you get to claim that you did the work.
Otherwise you could say you "cooked a meal" every time you went to MacDonald's.

I would argue that you technically did not cook it yourself - you are however responsible for having cooked it. You directed the cooking.
