Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has revealed she can't cook despite taking cooking lessons.

The Nine actress has taken lessons to boost her culinary skills but says although her preparation is good, her finished dishes are always disappointing, reports contactmusic.com.

"I can cook a little bit. I can cook a few Spanish dishes but it looks, in movies, that I cook much better than I cook. The things I can make, can taste pretty bad. I am not the most organised person in the kitchen but I took a lot of lessons. But my lessons were more like to be the assistant of a chef so I could learn to cut the vegetables very fast. I can do all of those things really well but then I'm not that good at cooking," she said.
