Discovering a great recipe can be life-changing, but not always in a good way.

As anybody who is a whiz in the kitchen can attest, there is a minority of people who go absolutely wild in trying to figure out a way to replicate certain recipes that they have introduced them to. Taste is one of the most evocative senses, and activating it to the extent that somebody will do almost anything to feel it on their taste buds again can become nothing short of an obsession. 

While it can seem a little stingy when a master chef does not want to give up their secrets, many who keep their recipes under wraps and are not willing to share them have their reasons for doing so. Not everybody can be trusted with the power of being able to cook a notorious crowd pleaser, and besides, it is no crime to engage in a little gatekeeping when you have something so good right at your fingertips.
