I haven't heard of anyone else with the pattern you had for cooking, but I've heard more than one person say that they can't learn routes unless they're in charge of navigating. IIRC, one of them was a man who was the best navigator (serious about using maps, excellent long term memory for how to get to places he'd only gone to once) I've known.
I experience this not only with route-finding, but with nearly any activity requiring me to passively pay attention to an information source while in a group.
