Gourmet cooking isn't hard if the prep work has been done competently. The problem most good-for-nothing incompetent idiots face is that they decide to do it on a whim. "I'm hungry, let's cook something fancy" is completely unreasonable, and not even the best of chefs can work the magic to make something beautiful out of the kitchen from the idiot who thinks like that. Knowing what you're going to cook before you do it (knowing it and preparing for it one day beforehand should be good enough for most dishes) and preparing for it accordingly is the key for it. If you're not crippled or mentally ill and you're given one week of preparation to cook a dish, I stand by saying you're a good-for-nothing retard if you can't do it.
Other than that, it's just naturally being orderly and smart- AKA don't be an idiot while cooking (start the longest-cooking recipe first, stagger the cooking times of the remaining dishes so that everything will be done by the same time, make sure you have everything you need to cook before you start doing it, etc.)

If you wanna learn some gourmet cooking, I could suggest you some books. It's a hobby of mine.
