Are Scales necessary for others ....... like SourdoLady?
I realize this is a very hot topic so please tread lightly here, but here goes....
My wife goes into the kitchen and no matter what she does she putters around and puff....out come madeleines or puff....out come stollens....she putters around and puff out come great cakes and No Problema. She Never Misses; at least not in the past 20 yrs. Her father was a pastry chef and he never misses. And they never use scales and they are always so Casual about it. I would like to work towards that ideal. Do people know of which I speak?
Since it sounds as if Everyone uses scales here, I am just curious if there is anyone out there who does not? Does SourdoLady? She is awesome; I wonder if she uses scales....
My ideal is to be the casual master and just have it happen. I don't want to use ph strips to test acidity etc.. I betcha SourdoLady definitely does not use ph strips per PR in his latest book. Yes I know Most Everyone here loves to take That Route and that is fine.
My question is there anyone out there of accomplishment who goes the path that I have chosen and is successful? Or am I all alone....... and doomed for failure?
