Let me rephrase that (so it doesn't sound so arrogant): "...developed, after
many, many years of study and laborious toil, the ability, which is innate in
all cooks, though not necessarily unlocked, to instinctively know how to
change....etc.."
Does that sound a little more realistic? Actually, I have always felt
fortunate to have a natural flair for cooking, just as some folks are
naturally good at math. Now, if it will only transfer over to medieval
cooking....
That remains to be seen, I guess.
