When someone says "I hate doing X", they can either a) stop doing X, or b) learn to like X. In this case, I suggest option b).

For me, learning how to cook a few simple, healthy, tasty meals has been one of the most useful skills I've acquired. I suppose it depends on your income, lifestyle and taste, but I prefer to know exactly what I'm putting in my body rather than taking my chances with restaurant food. At this point, I like my own cooking better than almost any restaurant, and it actually saves me time and trouble (and lots of money). Besides, there is an art and a Zen pleasure to cooking that I highly recommend. I see no downside to learning how to cook.

I'm very surprised if you see no downsides at all, especially for someone with RomeoStevens' revealed preferences.
