N4Word Choice上手 vs 得意

私は料理が___です。

Q. Which word is most natural for describing YOUR OWN cooking skill?

Translation

I'm good at cooking.

Explanation

得意 is the natural choice for one's own strong skill. 上手 praises others' skill, and saying 私は料理が上手です about yourself can sound boastful. 苦手な has the opposite meaning and the wrong form here.
