I find it interesting that you chose cooking as your example, because this is exactly the technique I use when trying to learn how to cook something I've never done before.
This is more or less my technique as well. Sometimes I use a slightly different version:
Saturation
Fermentation: I form old ball theories explaining my new knowledge until I come upon one I like (completely unscientific)
Test.
I'd say half of my cooking adventures turn out badly... but the other half are quite edible. My worst attempt, by far, has been sauerkraut. Anything that involves genuine fermentation is probably something that isn't going to be figured out so easily with half-baked search methods.
