I’m a great cook but I want to know more about cooking…like the scientific aspect of it…when to use vinegar, which vinegar to use? Choosing what to add and why…now I cook dishes and add ingredients without knowing why they work. If I knew more I think I could make more recipes that I create myself. Now I’m dependent on using other people’s recipes when I want something new.
The best way to learn is to cook from about age 8 with your cajun father that was born in 1938. Along with your grandmother from Southern Louisiana, and your grandmother on the other side from Germany. Along with the man your German grandmother married who was from Macedonia and who's family started restaurants and coney Islands fro. NYC, to Toronto, to Detroit, to Flint Michigan. Learning to hunt and fish and cook from your garden since middle school. Loving to cook from a young age. Working in a bakery all through high school and working in the kitchen at the country club is a really good way to learn. Useing all of your time and money for new recipes and new kitchen gear. That's how I think cooks are born.
Restaurant cooking is like jogging in place with drug addicts and prisoners while the sexy front of the house take over half the money because they moved the food from point a to b.

Everyone learns differently. It's why public schools are so horrible. They want you to go down one path and not deviate away from.
So some may do best with pressure, some with zero pressure, some from reading, some from watching, some from experimenting, etc etc etc
