Then I'll find one to use as a guideline. heffalump on "How do you cook, recipe or no?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-recipe-or-no#post-128077 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:18:15 +0000 heffalump 128077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: That sounds sooooo yummy! cyneswith on "How do you cook, recipe or no?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-recipe-or-no#post-127993 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:46:45 +0000 cyneswith 127993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both. There are some things I need a recipe for (like spinach and artichoke mac and cheese - it'd be too soupy without). Other things, like honey apple cider vinaigrette, are to taste. Many things, I find a recipe for, like the idea, and make up my own version.

Sometimes I'll use a recipe as a guideline and change it according to what I have on hand or what I think would be good. Sometimes I just throw stuff together, other times there is a recipe I really wanna try, so I will follow it.

I can't do the whole "taste as you go" thing. However, I have done it twice, and it turned out not too bad. Still too scared to constantly cook without a recipe though. yoursilverlining on "How do you cook, recipe or no?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-recipe-or-no#post-127889 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:00:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 127889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I only use a recipe when baking.

I think of myself as a pretty good cook in that I can tackle complicated recipes/techniques and 99% of what I make comes out well. But I'm definitely not good at inventing meals from a bunch of ingredients. mediagirl on "How do you cook, recipe or no?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-recipe-or-no#post-127193 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:16:17 +0000 mediagirl 127193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Tonight I tossed together dinner without a recipe. It actually turned out well and I was shocked. Haha. I'm normally a recipe follower. Do you use a recipe or just toss some stuff together?
