Cooking requires a conscious effort that feels unnatural, because learning to cook is a lot like learning to ride a bicycle. You start with training wheels — cookbooks, videos, lessons — then fall repeatedly as you try to find balance on your own. With enough practice, you experience the sensation of that bike-riding moment when jerky, erratic swerving is replaced by equilibrium. The shift is sudden and irreversible, the body flooded with a knowing that immediately feels innate. So it is with cooking. You don’t feel entirely in control of the process until you learn enough to command it and it only starts to come natural when you get back into your body. So let’s talk about this more shall we?!
