Flexibility is an essential component of good cooking. You should never feel locked into a recipe or a menu unless it involves a basic principle regarding procedure or technique such as those involved in bread-making and pastry. I don’t ever want to write anything in this book that is so precise that the reader must invoke great powers of concentration on every last detail in order to ensure the success of a recipe or a dinner; ingredients are simply too variable. I want to suggest the expected taste; I want to suggest the appearance of the complete dish; I want to suggest the combination of ingredients; and I want to suggest the overall harmony and balance of the meal. Then it will be up to you to determine the correct balance and composition. Perhaps the garlic is sharp and strong, and you will use it sparingly in a particular presentation, or you may find the garlic to be sweet and fresh, and you will want to use twice as much!
Learn to trust your own instincts. A good cook needs only to have positive feelings about food in general, and about the pleasures of eating and cooking. I have known some cooks who did not seem to discover pleasure and gratification in things culinary. At the restaurant, I look for employees who are interested in working in the kitchen for reasons above and beyond those of simply needing a job, any job. This applies equally to the home cook: a cook who dislikes food is a bad cook. Even an ambivalent cook is a bad cook. Yet, a person who responds to the cooking processes and the mound of fresh ingredients with a genuine glow of delight is likely to be, or become, a very good cook indeed. Technical skills can be acquired and perfected along the way, but dislike or ambivalence toward food cannot always be overcome.
In the early stages of my culinary pursuits, I cooked as I had seen cooking done in France. I copied some of the more traditional cooks, and I stayed within the bounds they had laid out so carefully because I didn’t trust my own instincts yet. Having imitated their styles, I found that with time and experience, their fundamental principles had become a part of my nature and I began to understand why they had done certain things in a particular way. Then, I could begin to develop a different and more personal style based on the ingredients available to me here in California. [br] To produce superior results, a cook must have______.

细节识别。第二段倒数第二句“Yet,a person who responds to the cooking processes and the mound of fresh ingredients with a genuine glow of delight is likely to be,or become,a very good cook indeed”为本题明确提供了证据。而且,本段最后一句话帮助排除了另外的选项。【知识拓展】本题属于典型的扫描式阅读(scanning),简称扫读,目的在于寻找某一特定的信息或资料,通常用于查找某个单词、短语、数字或文章片断。读者的视线从上到下很快地扫过页面,直到发现所需要的信息,再停下来仔细阅读这部分。这类阅读通常在快速扫描内容的时候捕捉关键词,如本题题干的提示是To produce superior results,在扫读时,扫描到become,a very good cook indeed就可以定位到准确信息。
