    Because you start with an overall plan and the constituent parts, then it’s a skill game to prepare them all in the appropriate time windows, and with appropriate skill.

    Because of the variability inherent to cooking and ingredients, it’s also our real-time challenge of figuring out what’s going wrong, and how to get it back on the rails.

    It’s extremely satisfying to understand the different aspects of preparing food, herbs, vegetables, meats, etc, and then using that knowledge to make something so tasty that people’s eyes bug out when they eat it.

    I find it extremely satisfying to take something that people consider to be not tasty, and just with a little core technique, make it into something they can’t even believe they are tasting.
