It makes sense to me - you get both deliberate practice and creative practice. I don't know if it's the best, perhaps someone who is good at cooking can provide a more informed opinion.
I was also told that cooking from good ingredients is easy, the hard part is figuring out what to cook given the ingredients you have on a given day.
1. Make the thing from a book, verbatim, change nothing
2. Synthesize a new recipe from 3-5 recipes, changing stuff at will, but within the range for each ingredient
3. if excellent: goto 2; else: goto 4
4. Continue to make this dish, using this recipe, from feel until the output consistency is always delish
Being good means being creative and then being able to consistently hit the required output quality.
