Hello,

1. She is as good a cook as me.

2. She is a cook as good as me.

I know the sentence 1 is fine, but I would like to ask whether if the second is OK or not.

Thanks.

No, that doesn't work.

We can say, "As a cook she's as good as I am", which has a slightly different meaning.

It could be used with a sarcastic negative meaning - "As a brain surgeon, Rover is as good as I am".
