I worked as a chef. I would give new cooks recipies, ingredients and all the tools. If someone couldn't cook the question was never "what's wrong with the oven" it's "what's wrong with the cook"

Those impared by simple tasks are the ones in need of the most instruction. The kind you can't get from a recipie book.

The distinction between a chef and a cook, a juntzi and a commoner, Zarathustra and human waste, is in the ability to tell if the person you need to work with needs recipies or instructions. Don't be a cook. Become a chef.
