Ask whoever is cooking to let you make the next few yourself
“Asking to step behind someone's counter will feel like an imposition, and they may say no. When someone says yes, you learn more in ten minutes than in a year of watching.”
The Recipe
- Go to a stall or small kitchen where one thing is made in the open, over and over: flatbreads, dumplings, a griddle, a fryer.
- Buy one first, then ask, plainly, if they will let you make the next few under their eye.
- Do exactly what they say, and buy whatever you make, good or bad.
