Always. I always must understand why something needs to be done before I do it. Rare exceptions in people I have an absolute trust to make decisions for me.
I couldn't cook a damn thing until Alton Brown showed me how/why cooking works.
Then I learned about all the types of cooking and why they work.
Then I looked at how the Michelin chefs do it and why they do the things they do.
Now I cook pretty well and occasionally pull off something way above my skill level.
Good Eats was an amazing show. Amazing, fun, educational! Loved it
Yeah that was the same for me. But I used Salt Fat acid as the book that I used to learn how to cook
