So an acquaintance of mine said that "Cooking is easy. Just follow the recipe". This was coming from a person who didn't cook at all
It's been irking me and I really wanted to slap the grin off his face (but I didn't because I'm above that).
I'll admit that I'm not the greatest cook due to the fact that I'm a college student (and honestly, when you are in a college, who can spare an hour anyways?). Plus, I do better at baking anyways just because I'm more focused on the recipe. However, I'm not the worst either. Saying things like "it's easy" or "follow the recipe" shows ignorance.
In my opinion, cooking is like any other tasks that requires hands. You have to practice, make blunders, and correct them. Just because there's instructions doesn't mean it's 100% foolproof. And if you miss even the minor detail, you can potentially botch up
Thoughts?
