Was Paul a cook?

~Acts 19.12 . . . even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched [Paul] were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.

I'm reading alert for any mention of food, but near the end of the narrative part of the New Testament now, those references seem to be getting farther apart. Upon seeing the word apron I hopefully latched on to it. Was the Apostle Paul a cook? But alas, the Greek dictionary reports this as a workman's or artisan's apron. Paul was a tent maker. So while he may have been able to cook, I can't assume that on the fact that he wore aprons. Ah, well.
