>>The OHC doesn't say anything about his learning to cook.   What it
says is that he decided that since Yitzchak loved Esav, Esav must  be
doing something right and he should copy him, so he decided to  cook
food as Esav did.

In any event, we see that his culinary skill  wasn't so great, because
he only essayed a simple pot of lentils; when it  came to cooking goat
"mat'ammim" he relied on his  mother.<<

When the angels came to Avraham he had Sarah bake cake and had "the  na'ar" 
-- Yishmael -- cook the meat.  Ber. 18:6-8
