tout juste bons à faire la cuisine

[jolieaimee]

Bonjour ;
For the context here :
Vous prenez tous les rôles. Et nous, on est tout juste bons à faire la cuisine et à accrocher les projecteurs. C’est exaspérant à la fin !
For this term: on est tout juste bons à faire la cuisine.
If I translate it as: we are completely good to cook.
Seems does not make sense and fit the context here.
How to translate it properly.
Merci!

"we are completely good to cook" me fait penser à des cannibales.

C'est très péjoratif : We're barely good enough to do the cooking and to...
barely worth...

Thank you OLN!

As I see it, I suggest :

We are fit only to cooking.
We are just good enough with the cooking.
We are good for nothing but cooking.

We are good at nothing except for cooking...

To be a little more precise, the speaker is resentful about being considered by the people he is with as "only fit for cooking, …"

"All we're good/fit for is doing the cooking."

Like OLN, I prefer "doing the cooking" to "cooking" in order to avoid the problem with the cannibals.
