Or perhaps the other way around.
Just like in Starcraft, any noob can play around when cooking with mixed results. A simple analogy between the two completely different things is Build Orders to Recipes. Any noob can follow these to a tee and achieve decent results. The similarities deepen when remembering how much SC and cooking both rely on one's ability to multi-task.
However, just as in starcraft, while accessible to many, the skill ceiling is still so high that there only the vast minority is skillful enough to be called true 'pros.' The analogy is further strengthened when remembering how many different styles there are to cooking. The only things that differentiate the top chefs in the world are their respective styles. Some may favor rich full dishes, while others may prefer the petite pleasures of pastries (that alliteration was completely unintentional, please bear with me lol). And of course, the same is true of the SC superstars (http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=56669).
I honestly don't know where I'm going with this. I was cooking myself dinner when I got to thinking about this and decided to write up my thoughts. What's the point in this? well, what's the point in anything, really?

ive been cooking for way to long.I enjoy it very much,but it can be very tiring,When running a kitchen even more so managing ppl,food,space,time.As your cooking, preparing new menus/dishes,covering or finding coverage for emplyoees that cant make it in for one reason or another.Cooking for my family and my self is much more satisfying than cooking for a bunch of snootty fools.

Nice, I agree 100%. Recipes are loose guidelines, I love getting a recipe, seeing what ingredients they use, and then just adding my own amounts and adding in other stuff. I think it turns out better more than it turns out worse.

Cool, I agree with you. There's something bugging me, though...
don't wanna be a little bitch, but the expression "vast minority" really seems awkward (and perhaps incorrect) in the current context. Correct me if I'm wrong, you're the better English speaker, obviously;))
and by the way, this kinda made me hungry

i make some bitchin eggs and im nasty on the grill. but i think the similarities between the two are minimal o.o

Well, Etter is good at both cooking and Starcraft...

Shrug, I just use whatever sounds right to me. Of course that ends with me looking like an idiot a lot of the time, but it also leads to some pretty cool sounding phrases.

The difference between a casual cook and a good cook is that, a good cook can faithfully reproduce the same dish of a consistent quality. The casual cook cannot.
Great chefs prepare food from the bottom up. There's the sourcing of suitable ingredients which are not always accessible for the average cook, the equipment and everything else. So it is not only the skills involved but the knowledge to use tools/components less common.
