Why so complicated?

Before i started studying cookery i always had the idea that cooking was tough and in many ways very complicated where in fact its not, when i started my course I found out that cooking is actually quite simple all you need is to be passionate or maybe even just need to like it, cooking is some what like drawing you just need to know the method of drawing it, or in this case cooking it, some one can give you the greatest recipe of all time but if you do the methods wrong you will not get the dish, 2 same dishes may have totally different taste, dish one maybe be fantastic where as dish two may just suck, its because of the method is not done right.

many chefs round the world now love to use or create plain,simple, fast yet all so very tasty and colorful dishes. one of Chef Ramsey's sentences are 'it's quick, simple, vibrant and delicious' he always loves to use words like 'fast, quick, easy ,simple' when his cooking as for his dishes presentation it's never too fancy. Like my chef's lecturer said our presentation has to have 3 things relevance, relevance & relevance... no fancy pants things like umbrella's and little sugar daddy or people dolls on or beside it... its cooking not baking...
