Plural of "one of"

Hi,

I've been wondering about the plural form of the structure "one of the [noun]" and I would appreciate it if you could help me about it.

"You are one of the best cooks I've ever met."

How would you say that if I talked about two cooks?

The plural of one in structures like yours is some: They are some of the best cooks I've ever met. Some refers to more than one cook but the exact number is not known. CB

"They are among the best cooks I've ever met."
"They are two of the best cooks I've ever met."

I'd say "some" is not so good with two.
