Using memory, Using judgment



To investigate skill and perfection in everyday routines and activities I am experimenting with memory and judgment, in this case the routine is cooking. I recorded myself making a artichoke risotto with no recipe. I have made risottos before (but not this specific one) and usually rely on the ingredients and amounts from a recipe.

In gathering information this may not as been as successful as it could have been because I have made risottos before, its quite a basic thing to make (its easy to alter during making to how it should be), and although it may be for some, cooking is not a skill that I think I have particularly lost due to technologies or trend.

To push this test further I need to use this idea of investigation to other everyday activities, use people other than myself in these tests (both who think they are skilled in particular tasks and those who think they are not)
