"To become a good cook requires more than the blind following of recipe. It means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they behave and skill in manipulating them. The recipe by itself, helpful as it is, will not produce a good product; the human being using the recipe must interpret it and must have skill in handling the materials it prescribes." ~Ruth Berolzheimer, Director Culinary Arts Institute - American Woman's Cook Book
