Hey Laura- just getting back to this after your last Substack post referenced it. I really, really feel this. The way my mom cooks is totally by feel and I think I've gotten better at this also after ten years of cooking a LOT for myself. I've come to really enjoy the simple challenge when a recipe I'm following doesn't really outline all the steps and forces me to think a bit and take a risk and rely on my actual intuition. I'm always happy to find (after the initial stress and nervousness abates) that I do have a sense for how things should taste and know my way around the kitchen :)
