I think it sounds creepy! If one of my old managers turned up asking
for cooking advice, I'd question the mans sanity.

Don't laugh!  It happens.  I used to bring my lunch to work and bosses
and co-workers would see it.  They weren't used to curry dishes and
such.  Dashi Miso soup in my wide mouth mug with greens (mustard greens
usually).  Chopped Gai Lan (chinese broccoli but hush, I have convinced
Don it's not broccoli and he loves Gai Lan).

 In this case, she wasn't an "old" manager in *any* sense of the word (old or former).  She was the department supervisor at the time, about 30 years old to my then 44.  And yes, she noticed I brought homemade lunches to work nearly every day.  She was one of those people who went clothes shopping on her lunch break and her lunch consisted of fast food.  She didn't really know how to cook.  I didn't mind telling her how to make mashed potatoes but I certainly was surprised she waited until a Sunday afternoon to inquire.  I suspect she had invited a new boyfriend over for dinner and realized ooops, don't know how to make mashed potatoes.  So she called me.

Some years ago, a friend of my son phoned me mid morning on xmas day to
ask me how to cook the turkey that she'd just taken out of the freezer:-)
