I haven’t read through it, but the essence I believe is an emphasis on fitting components and techniques together rather than slavishly following recipes.
Similarly good (and maybe a good companion) is J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s YouTube channel. He basically wears a GoPro and cooks full meals with a very minimum number of cuts. You can see him make mistakes and adapt recipes to what he has on hand in real time. Watching a pro do that really made a lot of things click for me. His book (The Food Lab) and his articles on Serious Eats are also good, but his videos have really been extraordinary.

Fully agreed. I wanted to add that sometimes he also goes into a scientific detour about why something is done the way it is, and I learned a lot theoigh that.
