It is funny that you compare and contrast design patterns and recipes. Most great cooking by my wife, is based on a written down recipe card that she did not follow and I have to ask what she changed so I can get close to not ruining the dinner which I am attempting to cook.

That's a classic illustration of Dreyfus levels, where beginners need instructions and advanced people work from intuition.

The interesting thing is that this is a situation that's frustrating for both the beginner and the expert.
