To obtain true mastery over the art of cooking you first have to put the notion "I dont know how to cook" aside but to understand appetite and where the instinct comes from. The knowledge of this goes a long way to forming an understanding and a general theory of cooking as an art.
The nerves of the tongue are what allow us to experience taste specifically named the The Bitter, Umami, Sour, Sweet and Salt Receptors. These flavors can then be mixed similar to how colors can be mixed to create a bright and vivid rainbow of tastes. The human body is an incredible machine.
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.
Activated by Salt the Salt Receptor detects salt in foods that we eat. Salt is needed by every living thing in the world. Oceans are extremely heavy in salt and pure salt usually comes from extraction from seawater.
The Umami Receptor is responsible for the Savory taste. The taste can be obtained from Soy Sauce, Tomatoes & Mushrooms. These common ingredients add this delicious savory flavor. The Sour flavor doesn't mix well with the Umami flavor.
The Salt Receptor is activated by Salt which is contained in every living organism on the planet. It is found all throughout the oceans where it is extracted and bottled up for your convenience. Salt is a part of any kitchen in the world and is used quite liberally. Almost everything that you could eat is salted but even if it was not salted, it would already contain salt.
The tastes that you experience seem to be a Swash of the different receptors that are active at a time and based upon the activity, different tastes are experienced. From the taste buds an electrical signal is sent up the nerves and into the brain where this rainbow of tastes is all put together. Every different spice has an effect on taste of a meal in some way.
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".
