Of course, generations of humans cooked without thermometers or thermostats. You could cook with the Rankine scale if you get used to it .
But let me just say, I don't think it's an accident France is both the originator of the Metric system and haute cuisine.
Advanced cooking is as much engineering as it is art.
So, it actually isn't a coincidence, but not in the way that you're implying. :)
After their whole "fuck the monarchy" phase, France got deep into "throw it out and replace it with something better". Part of that was metric, and part was "OMG they're so many unemployed royal chefs now, what if we made it so everyone could have a chance to eat like a king for a meal?".
Surplus chefs, a cultural tilt towards trying new things, and Frances historical position giving them access to a huge array of spices, meat, dairy and fish made for a great opportunity for culinary revolution.
So they're both born from the same spirit, but one didn't cause the other. :) Thankfully they didn't go the way of metric time, or the French revolutionary calendar, neither of which panned out.
