Cooking Is An Observation-based Process That You Can't Do If You're So Completely Focused On A Recipe.

I Can’t Talk About Anything Or Write About Anything If I Don’t Understand It. So A Lot Of The Stuff That I Go Through And A Lot Of The Time That I Spend Is Understanding.

I'm Too Tired To Hate.

No Matter How Much Creativity Goes Into It, Cooking Is An Art. Or Perhaps I Should Say A Craft. It Abides By Absolute Rules, Physics, Chemistry, Etc. And That Means That Unless You Understand The Science You Cannot Reach The Art. We're Not Talking About Painting Here. Cooking's More Like Engineering. I Happen To Think That There Is Great Beauty In Great Engineering.

Recipe Writers Hate To Write About Heat. They Despise It. Because There Aren't Proper Words For Communicating What Should Be Done With It.
