If memory serves, one of the novels suggests that Kaneki was a pretty decent cook to begin with. (The story where he helps Touka make a bento for Yoriko as an apology.)

But I agree, it's likely that he does the same thing Arata did -- following the recipe closely, praying for good results, and then taking note of how people reacted to his cooking.
