I went in search of clever people talking about 'neuromodulation', and stumbled upon this blog post about cooking. Excellent, well done internet!

Thing is - there is a significant history of detailed recording of recipes in Western traditions, much less so in Thai villages. I don’t want to promote culinary Orientalism, but the oral knowledge of those in the know far outstrips everything I could possibly have ever read.
That said, you make a good point in that we become blind to our own knowledge. I can’t say I’ve thought about this in much depth - cooking is generally a safe haven from my own bullshit.
