Cooking starts with imagination, with conceiving, picturing, and anticipating the look and smell and taste of something wonderful to eat.
It then involves manipulation of a vast number of variables to bring the concept into reality.
You have an idea in mind that you want to create. The task of the cook is to translate vision into reality, to manifest in the real world a creation that begins in the mind.
What is that if not practical magic?

Once you understand the principles of cooking and have mastered the art of it, you can apply it in other situations.
Mastery of the art of cooking requires that you develop your power of observation and the clarity of your imagination.
You learn how to manage time, deal with unexpected developments, and not fall into states of frustration and despair when your efforts fail to develop the way you want them to.
