Warning: My time cooking in a remote fishing village shifted my whole approach

One side, working with just-caught ingredients made my dishes taste alive. The other side, coming back to a city kitchen felt slow and fake. Do you push for raw experience or stick to polished systems?

Raw experience sounds great until you're the one dealing with it. I once bought a whole fish to feel authentic and spent hours on youtube just to not poison myself. Now I see why my mom stuck to her recipe box.

Yeah but that hassle @blakeo57 mentioned is exactly the point. Systems keep you safe, but they can crush the soul of the food. You need a bit of both to make anything good.
