I cant find anything in the article proper that I can point to and say "This... this proves its a fake". Nor is the concept of a 31 year old male finally learning how to cook (regardless of species!) that outrageous to me.

It's certainly not impossible for Chimpanzees to learn to cook. This American Life (#401) had the story of a chimp raised by a pair of researchers, and it would brew tea as nonchalantly as the 'parents'. The catch was, it was young and learning, and they found themselves woefully unequipped to deal with a adolescent (and very strong) chimp as the years came.
I don't doubt the bonobo in question learned to perform the proper actions in the correct sequence. The debatable part is if it knows it's cooking, and will be able to adapt and modify the skill for new situations.
