Cook like a hacker, and I don’t mean Ramen noodles, take-out pizza, and a bowl of cereal. A lot of hacking involves using a basic set of equipment, learning a powerful set of tools, following a basic set of procedures, a lot of improvising and experimenting, and learning from your mistakes. Cooking is the same. You can cook amazing meals, but it means that you have to be willing to apply a hacker-type mindset to an area that doesn’t involve computers.
