You have worked for quite some time in the kitchen making food. Either you have been working a long time at a tavern, an inn or privately for a noble. You know your way around the ingrediences that you get and hence have learned how to make a meal out of almost everything.
Your call to adventure can be seen as conscription, lack of employment or willingness to wander. You could perhaps also have been conscripted to be an army chef, making food for soldiers. Maybe you have found work on board a ship, from which you survived a pirate attack or a storm. Maybe your employer died or your workplace burned down, leaving you with little other option.
