But great cooks also tend to follow recipes. You don't see a lot of bakers winging it when they make a cake for example. See I thought that "great cook" just meant you made tasty food

It's quite hard to fuck up a recipe. Following it as intended is good enough. Excellent cooks improve recipes through experience.
