When you know how to cook, you can talk about things it's not a lie.

So what if you tell a girl you have a date? that won't really matter. you DO know you can date multiply women at the same time right? as long as it's on a casual level.

Also, if you are confident enough, you can say you are in a relationship and then later when you are friends with the girl you can go ahead and lie saying that you broke up with your ex or w/e. Some friends of mines have done this but I don't bother with this strategy. It's not one that I approve of but I know that it works for them.

I don't see how asking for advice on something at a grocery store is bad imo. It's just something to break the ice and ease into a conversation. You don't have to lie or anything you can even say I ****ing suck at cooking but in a humorous way.
