I dump a bunch of shit in the crock pot, cross my fingers, and hope it comes out okay (been pretty successful thus far)

I just work with whatever is in the kitchen and improvise. Sometimes I'll start from a recipe that sounds good and change it to fit my tastes. As far as favorite herbs, spices, etc. probably garlic is my favorite followed by lemon/pepper.

I can cook enough to feed myself. I am a superb baker though. Has always been my stress reliever. When I was little my Grandmother taught me my fractions by baking (1/2 cup, 1/4 cup etc) and it stuck. When I was 11 I made my Mom's 4 tiered wedding cake :)

Bleh for metric why can't you make things hard like us Americans and use a system that requires memorizing 100 different conversion factors.

Follow the recipe once, then it's fair game. Most of the time, I don't follow recipes except for baking. Then, it's kinda important to get the soda, salt, baking powder stuff right. But, for the other spices? Well, .... ;-)

This. I will follow the recipe the first time I cook something. After tasting the final result I decide what what it needs more, less, or none of and modify the recipe to suit.

Both my wife and I are good cooks. Most recipes are just guidelines ( except for certain baking ingredients)

Basically if you like a certain flavor, just make it up as you go. BUT make sure you write down what you did ( ingredients & amounts ) so you can duplicate it :yes:

Our favorite ziti recipe calls for a pound of meat and a total of a pound of cheeses. :bs: It gets three pounds of meat and almost three pounds of various cheeses. We also put in the juice/olive oil mixture from our favorite stuffed peppers ( shooters ). Makes a big difference in flavor. :drool:

Check them out www.fatheadpeppers.net You will NOT find a better tasting pepper anywhere.

I get a recipe for new concoctions but never have all the ingredients so I improvise. Its a crapshoot whether it tastes good or not.

I never follow recipes. Use the old knoggin.
