It was indeed elementary, my dear Watson !

wens once wrote -but I couldn't find said entry- a little rant about people who label themselves as "bad cooks"; cooking is nothing surnatural if you only give it a minimum of practiseBack then, I strongly disagreed but kept my mouth shut. Good cooking, I thought, was a gift that faeries forgot to fling at my crib. I was only able to mimic some recipes

I think, as with any talent, a certian cooking intutition is born within a person that has to be tempered. It surprised the hell out of me when I moved out of my parents house, cooked my first meal, and it came out pretty good. I didn't follow a recipie or anything ... I just went by what I thought would work.

But, practise is definitely part of it. I'll read a recipie the first time I cook something, and then I'll never pick it up again. XD I go by taste testing ... what worked this time, what to do next time, etc. Granted, I cook very simple meals a lot of the time.

Very valid point. Even with all the practice in the world, I'll never dethrone Lenotre cakes XD

Et bravo pour les posts en français, j'imagine que ça doit être assez difficile quand on n'a pas l'habitude d'en rédiger ;)
