This is true. One thing to keep in mind - baking is more of a science and it is important to follow recipes pretty closely. Cooking is more of an art. I use cooking recipes more as a suggestion of how to put things together in an interesting way, not as a strict list of measurements and ingredients that must be followed exactly. I very rarely actually follow a recipe exactly when I cook. I'll reduce the fat content, skip the salt, substitute ingredients that we like for ones we don't like, etc.
