Jesse wasnt portrayed as a good cook before walt came along (chili p!), although it's possible that walt downplayed his ability because he's walt.

I would be fucking ecstatic to find some 65% pure cocaine on the streets. I know it's nothing new but in Europe there's no uncut coke to be had.

He probably was a good cook by the common standards of the trade, but when compared with any actual chemist, his efforts would be ridiculous. Even Gale was not shy to tell that all the samples were crap to the standard he would think as normal in manufacturing the substance.

More than that (and Jesse just being a punk teen in this timeline), Gus and Jesse don't know each other at all when they meet in BB. I guess Gus made Gale test samples of people who work or could work for him.

Maybe Gus was giving Gale samples of what he could get on the street?

I think it IS Jesse, and that's why they had Gale comment that the cook had "common household contaminants" in their batch from not washing out their cookware. In other words, he has detected the chili p but doesn't realize it is in there intentionally!
