Yes it's true...I completely stole this from a newsletter but his message summed up so perfectly what I have been trying to say (about the cooking process anyway.....) that I had to share!
You see...cooking is a big part of what I am trying to help you learn- not because I want you to be an amazing chef but because it's important that you learn how to use fresh ingredients to take care of yourself. - And besides, half of the time by the time you- figure out what you want to eat... call to place the order....pay the delivery guy....put it on a plate....
you could have made yourself something great!
Ok- so here is my "re-post"!
"When your mind understands the particular flavor profile of say . . . a tomato sauce, or a Vietnamese salad (depending on your upbringing) and it will make make more sense to you why a dish might not work out. Maybe it needs salt, sweetness, or a squeeze of lime.Adjust as you go- Monitor the process! Every kitchen is different, tools are diverse, and ingredients will vary a lot. As you cook, taste a lot and be aware of changes throughout the process: react accordingly. Many people simply execute a recipe and expect a result, but it just doesn't work that way. You have to learn to adapt as you cook."
The end!
