Strict Recipe Follower, or Experimenter?

[maglalangara496]

I am a strict recipe experimenter because the common recipe is too continuous and I am craving always on something new. I am an experimenter as this helps boost my confidence and skills. Also, I am a cooker in our business and this would better help our business to become unique.

[Arianne Joy Melendres]

As I am with most things, definitely experimental ! Sometimes I like to keep a recipe with me as a guide, but I love tweaking them here and there

What kind of cook are you?

Do you follow recipes to the letter, or make it up as you go along?
Or do you mix the two?

I tend to do both, but usually experiment more than I follow recipes. Even when I use a recipe, I tend to change things to suit myself.

I am both an experimenter and follower but it is dependent on whether I am cooking or baking and whether it is a local or international dish.

For example, goat meat. I have more leeway in experimenting with spices and herbs because I have mastered the basics of cooking goat meat for the family. Whilst baking mandazi (a local Malawian donut) requires me to strictly follow the recipe because it has a distinct well known taste. Experiments would not be appreciated especially by the older generation.

I am an experimenter and will only strictly follow a recipe if it is unfamiliar.

Not all recipes fit everyone’s taste so I always tweak a thing or two to my satisfaction

[Shenila Ginabay]

I do both, but most of the times I follow the recipe. The only times I experiment a little is when the recipe has an ingredient that I really like.

[Jen Nghishitende]

After a few experimental disasters, I started following recipes to a T now ha ha ha ha!!

[kasedy Fairbairn]

I only follow recipes when I am baking. I mainly use recipes to form an idea. I like to experiment while cooking.

[Alet Van Tonder]

I don't mess around with recipes for pastries and desserts, but don't mins going off scripte for savoury disheds.

I am an experimenter. I find that due to different tastes, one cannot be confined to a strict recipe.

[Rositsa]

I do both usually depending on my mood and the time and things I have to work with.

[Comfort Ansah]

I love experimenting so I will read the recipe to get a general idea of what I am making and when it comes to ingredients I can surely add my own ideas.

I love to experiment. It is in my blood.

[Agatha Bushguy]

Most of the time I am an experimentor. I always choose the ingredients I love the most and discard the ones I don't. I replace the ingredients I hate with similar taste of another ingredient.

LoL. You get? That is so me.

[Shillah Andeso]

I love experimenting but my love for famous recipes overrides the number of times I try my recipies. Most of the time when i experiment it turns out wrong and that why i try recipes most of the time.
