Repetition

Cookbooks don’t emphasize it enough: don’t have a dinner party and try a recipe that you have never made before. The chances of the meal being stellar is slim. Maybe that’s why cooking is considered more of a trade than an art. Making recipes again and again focuses you on what steps are important and which are critical. Five years ago I thought I had pizza dough down. Three years ago I realized that I didn’t have a clue five years ago. Today I’m content when it just rises correctly.
