Absolutely. Cooking is applied chemistry. And by reading a recipe and making something yourself, you're directly attempting to replicate the results of another. It becomes even more clear that cooking is chemistry once you get into it from the industrial angle and they really do assemble products with extracts and isolates.

Cooking isn't applied chemistry.

Cooking is as much art as science. In that sense it's sort of like psychiatry. The experienced psychiatrist doesn't just look up your symptoms in a book and try a list of meds (or at least the good ones don't), he looks at the whole situation and adjusts accordingly.
