Quote

the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.

The experienced cook will know to skip through the verbiage, but the explanations will be there for those who still need them.
