There's culinary science to explain what you're talking about.
It's also interesting how simple and hard to mess up recipes for baking are viewed as generally unappetizing or "for the poor"
Hard to create recipes are viewed as desirable, Kim is souffle bourgeoise decadence?
Some of the most common mistakes in baking I see is changing the quantities of ingredients in a recipe, you generally should never scale up or down the recipe unless you know what you're doing. Good recipe books will tell you if you can open the oven for inspection.
Nowadays we have measurements and more advanced technology to measure temperatures, humidity etc.
This is how an apolitical persons feels when we start explaining Marxism to them in details btw. Boring.
