I would posit that any food can be made following a recipe. I know, because I am dabbling at it ;) The food will still taste good :)

The craft here is to make it taste special, even for simple recipes like an omelette. That is why the chefs get asked this question.




You'd posit wrong. The craft is getting the texture right. Managing the heat, how much to beat it, when to add salt, etc. Chefs don't get asked the question to find out how good it tastes, and in fact, most of their score can be derived just by watching them.
