Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
-Chinese Proverb
That’s great, but we’re not going to talk about fish today. We’re going to talk about cookies.
One of the best things that happens when you learn how to cook is learning out how to get along without a recipe.
If you make something a couple of times, soon you begin to understand what ingredients and steps are most important. Make something a bunch of times and soon you begin to see the variety of ways you might be able change it up. Make something a couple of dozen times and soon you start see cooking from a whole new perspective.
