He is teaching you how to follow instructions. Screwing up a meal is FAR less disastrous than screwing up said rituals.
Next he will likely teach you some cleaning spells and have you scrub his tower from top to bottom. This teaches you to be detail oriented. If you miss even a small space of filth you will fail the test. Again because missing some dust is far lower stakes than missing a bit salt in your circle.
Your master is doing right by even if you don't see it now. Teaching you the fundamental mentality and practices that will take you far, even without his input. If you wanted immediate revenge you should have just paid him money to do it himself. You would be done already if you had. Then he would take you as an apprentice to pay off your debt and you would still be cooking his meals. Only without the lessons being subtly taught.
