But what do people think of the idea that if you are a ninja, you can't cook by a recipe?
I call BS. What are their secret scrolls of techniques if not recipes for death?
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're reaching, sweetie. They are turtled, just mutant.
Mutant: An individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from mutation.
If I posit it's possible that they have fur or nipples or warm blood or live births, WHO ARE YOU TO CONTRADICT ME?
The first mammal was just a mutant, after all. It could happen again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It sounds like crap--I've never heard anything about ninjutsu that avoids recipes.
Right? Every week Bob is in this class and they all have to tell a story. Three of like four weeks Bob comes home and must relate the stories that come from that guy. No other stories are that interesting. So I think he's maybe some kind of fabulist (or, you know, an...improvisor), but the cooking is the only thing I can fact-check from here.

From my vast study of the species(1), I have determined their dominant DNA is turturlian.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Official Ninja Homepage tells me, right after the fact that ninjas are mammals, that ninjas fight ALL the time. This makes me doubt the cooking part of that story as much as the no-recipes part. How does cooking fit in with fighting ALL the time?!?!?

I mean, everyone else in the room is, too. It's weird.

And the painting the bathroom while on Ambien!
It could be said that the ninjas are fighting. They are fighting THE MAN, and his insistence on DIRECTIONS. Also FLAVOR.

That part totally makes sense, ninjutsu or no.

Well, the Ambien thing is that the NYT has had several high-profile articles in the past month about Ambien side-effects. E.g.: [link] and [link] It's a little suspicious, the timing, you know? "Oh, and by the way, my wife also has been suffering this recently notorious funny little thing." Also he reported that he would have sex with her while she was on Ambien because she wasn't "ambitious." [w/f for the behaviorally squeamish]
