[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do. I didn’t pick it up until married, and cooks illustrated helped teach me. I like chemistry, so that helps.[b]Baking and cooking is essentially science.[/b] The right recipes makes a world of difference. Try cooks illustrated books or magazine, and America’s test kitchen. Once you get the skills, you could try simply in season cookbook. Beware, many recipes on line and many cookbooks are pretty awful. But if you have the skills you can fix them. [/quote] Kind of. As someone who doesn't like baking much though generally competent, I think baking is a science where you are generally best with following the rules but I enjoy cooking a lot more because you can kind of shift as you go and, if you're generally skilled, that's what makes you a good cook. My favorite thing with cooking, forr example, is to read like 8 recipes for the same dish and then just...go with what I feel and it normally works out well (ie says 2 cloves garlic, I will do 4!) But baking is much more exact. [/quote]
