Pay attention
I think it’s important to move you away from simply following recipe methods.
In many cases, they quietly undermine people’s chances of becoming confident cooks. Most methods focus almost entirely on the what — quantities, timings, steps — and very rarely on the why. But it’s the why that builds confidence. Without it, when something goes wrong, it feels personal. Like you’ve failed. When in reality, cooking is about responding to variables, not executing instructions.
