Do you cook by recipe or feeling?!
Do you have a hard time sharing a recipe, because you cook by feeling!? A pinch of this a pinch of that!?---and it turns out the same everytime, because you've cooked it so many times!.!.!.!.!.!. The only time I still use a recipe , is in cakes or when I learn a new recipe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It gets a little frustrating when I'm asked for a recipe because most often I don't!. I do cook with a pinch of this and a pinch of that because I get the urge!. It's mostly frustrating for my husband because he'll eat something and say "I love that, you can cook that again" and I forgot exactly what I put in it!. I've learned to keep a small notebook in the kitchen to write down what I've made just in case it turns out to be a "keeper"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The first time, I follow the recipe exactly and make notes!. (my cookbooks have lots of writing in them) After that, it's up to my interpretation!. When it comes to baked goods, there's not much room for freestyle, so I follow those recipes exactly every time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I use the basic ingredients and then I add a little bit of me to the recipe, thats what makes it special and different than just any old recipe!. it also taste better, so i get a lot of compliments on my cooking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes it is very hard for me to give an exact recipe because I have usually tweaked it to be my own, and it is a dash of this and a pinch of that!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I pick a new recipe and compare it to other recipes of the same and I combine them based on what I want more of or less of (in essence, by taste)!. My regular fare is always done by taste, no recipe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, that;s the way a professional should cook!. always cook by feeling!. that's the way i cook, i believe it makes the food taste better!. i only use the recipe when i'm trying out new things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yes, that is pretty much the way i do it!. i will use a recipe as a base, but i really am not precise with cooking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Follow the recipe to the letter!. That way I can reproduce it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I completely agree!. I always have to show someone how to make something, rather than write it down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
omg, recipie!. but then again, i am still young!. i will become seasoned by time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
definitely by feeling!. I'ts the way my mother does it, and the way i do itWww@FoodAQ@Com
Yes!. I use recipes as guides, new ideas, I always tweak them according to my families likes and what I have on hand!. I still can't write down my Mexican rice recipe I learned while living in Dallas, Texas!. My hubby just can't get it!. I wrote down what I thought but I don't measure, I just "pour" the spices in until they look right!. I guesstimate the measurements for others!. It's like trying to tell someone how dough should feel when you knead it, they have to feel it and see it done to know what you are talking about!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
