Recipes Do you always follow a recipe when cooking? I normally do if it's a casserole, soup, chili,…

If it's something new I'll usually use a recipe, or if I'm baking. If it's one of my more usual things though I just throw it together.

I'm not very good at following recipes. I always add extra of certain ingredients, or leave things out (intentionally), or add things that weren't in the recipe to begin with. I use recipes as more of a guideline, except when baking. I've only had one or two mishaps.

When i make sausage gravy, i eyeball amounts. I know approximately how much flour and milk go in, so i rarely follow a recipe with it anymore.

I mostly only use a recipe when im baking... cakes, cookies, etc.

I guess i will get a recipe out, but barely pay attention to amounts haha

If I'm baking I follow a recipe. If I'm cooking for my family I'll make the recipe for it how the person recommends then the next time I play with it to make it something my family would enjoy more. I don't just go for it though. Except for my honey mustard recipe, I made that myself lol

I do the same as Smyers. Usually a recipe is just a guideline for me and I add and take out stuff.

Well it turned out wonderfully! I should do this more often!

If it's a new recipe, yes. Besides that no.

If I'm doing it for the first time j follow it exactly and make adjustments the next time based off how it tasted.

I never follow a recipe exactly. I always change and add and make it mine. Unless its chocolate chip cookies or something of that extent.

I used to follow recipes very strictly, but since becoming pregnant, I enjoy spending less and less time in the kitchen (it just gets so hot in there with the oven or stove going!!!)... now I just throw together whatever sounds good and call it a night. My family is lucky they still have dinner on the table every night, tbh ?

I always see a recipe as a suggestion never a hard and fast rule

I might do baking the way they say the first time and then start changing it, maybe lol

Only with baking. Baking is a science, if you mess up your stuff comes out sad.
