Cooking and baking are amazing. You have to be half scientist/half artist. You have to know how ingredients react to each other and at different temperatures. Yet you also have to just know what tastes good and what is going to hit that perfect place on your taste buds. People who can master it are amazing.

Tip: if your cake came out flat like a pancake, or your cookies came out fluffy (or some other weird texture), it might be because you’ve used baking soda instead of baking powder, or vice versa. Learned this the hard way 🙁 So just double check the recipe because baking powder and baking soda are not the same thing (as we found out in this video)!

Cooking you can go with the flow, baking if you make the wrong ration, or temperature you done, have to start over so people just give up

January 2, 2022 at 10:06 am
Baking is a lot more precise, cooking you can be more creative and substitutey and do what instinctively “feels” right for a dish. People’s personalities often play into whether they’re an excellent cook or baker, and even if someone can do one well they’ll usually enjoy one a lot more than the other.

I know you corrected yourself a quick moment after you stated that but never never never have a *sliver* of egg yolk in your meringue mixture.
If I remember correctly the proteins in the yolk just doesn’t make the egg whites whip correctly

It’s the fats that interfere with the proteins of the whites sticking together to make the meringue.

As a pastry chef, I agree with most of this and she did a great job explaining it to the general audience. However, I still bake most of my cookies at 320 because I do like a chewy and sightly gooey cookie, but mine don’t spread still. You have to know which cookie recipe works with which temp. They can’t all be baked at 320 or 350 . Some are designed for different temps =} It definitely is a science. It’s not quite so simple as it seems to bake a cookie, when every recipe is different. But you should DEFINITELY have your cookies be cold/frozen before baking, for sure. Also–play around and see if the recipe works better at 320 or 350, etc, despite what the recipe suggests.
