Mastering the art of preparation is a lot more complicated than you may have thought. Understanding appetite, how it works and why the instincts exist in the first place goes a long way to make one understand and a general theory of cooking as an art. You'll no longer need to say "I dont know how to cook".
There are five different taste receptors that control the experience of the food that you eat. These are the Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour and Salt Receptors. Each of them are perceived differently and by mixing these flavors in certain ways new recipes are made.
The Umami Receptor is experienced through the Savory taste of Soy Sauce, Mushrooms & Tomatoes so these ingredients can be used to add that delicious savory taste to a meal. The Umami flavor does not seem to mix well with the Sour flavor.
Activated by Sugar the Sweet Receptor triggers the Sweet taste. Glucose is created by conversion from sugar so that it is usable in the body. Every organism on the planet needs glucose and lots of it since most of the body is made from Glucose. Even if you do not add sugar, there is likely a hefty amount of carbohydrates that function like sugar.
The Bitter taste is caused by the Bitter Receptor and is normally a taste that's not enjoyed by a lot of people. Survival instinct is the reasoning most conclude for its existence as poisons are often bitter. Sometimes however the Bitter taste is sought for and as such it can be added to your meal with simply Bay Leaf.
The Sour Receptor is provoked by Lemon & Vinegar; Vinegar for frying and Lemon for vegetable based meals to add this highly sought after flavor. The Sour flavor seems to conflict with the Umami receptor in such a way that it may be better to pick one or the other.
The Salt taste is activated by Salt Receptor. Salt is used in every creature in every creature on the planet. The oceans are heavy in salt that is then extracted out of the water. Everything contains salt and so even if what you ate was not salted it still had salt anyways.
These receptors then send an electrical signal through the nervous system and to your brain where then the picture emerges as a swash of different receptors into your perception of taste. There are many more spices and vegetables that you can use to create different tastes.
Instead of cooking that same recipe every time you could create your own recipe from scratch. You can also take an existing recipe and make it even better once you master your perception of the flavors that the tongue can experience.
You will no longer say "I dont know how to cook" once you master this mix of flavors. The way you make food is determined largely by your experiences of smell & taste. It is important to be able to smell & taste the food before you even have begun. Now you should understand more about how the masters of cooking do it and you no longer will you say "I don't know how to cook".
