“One might call what I was looking for ‘a metacookbook’—a book not about a certain cuisine or style of cooking, but about cooking itself—and I found good ones to be surprisingly rare”

Have heard great things about @CiaoSamin's Salt Fat Acid Heat. In particular, unlike Bittman, it optimizes for composability and fundamental skills over comprehensiveness:

Author here. You might also enjoy Richard Garfield’s paper on meta games: 0gamestechsociety.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/2000-g
(Garfield is creator of Magic The Gathering).

I’ve actually been thinking about meta games a bit more since I wrote that post.
The really generic example of metagame thinking is probably Boyd: commoncog.com/blog/much-ado-
A more concrete version, though restricted to a specific career example, is: commoncog.com/blog/parable-p
has a really nice talk that loops (pun intended) Boyd's work in!
I have often followed the adage "Less haste, more speed" - and it appears that the OODA loop is a formalisation of this.
