Following recipes works.
Until it doesn't.
At first, everything goes well.
You repeat steps. You copy quantities. You follow instructions.
But you don't understand anything.
And when something changes, you fail.
A recipe doesn't teach you how to cook.
It only guides you once.
If you don't understand why, you depend on it.
And depending on it limits you.
You don't need instructions.
You need judgment.
