I am taking part in the Veracity 31 day blog challenge! Week 4 theme is Domestic! When it comes to cooking are you a free spirit or do you stick to the recipe? Do you follow recipes down to the exact measurement or do you guesstimate and and experiment? Why or why not?

When it comes to baking I try to be exact as possible. I may add or take away but I always measure things exactly, or at least as close as possible When it comes to cooking meals I am more of a free spirit.

I find cooking to be more fun when I play around. When I make up my own recipes by adding a dash of this or a splash of that. Even if I am following a recipe I may add some stuff to it or replace an ingredient with something I prefer more. I don’t think of cooking as an exact science but an experiment in itself. I find I have more fun when I am doing my own thing. Sometimes if I am making something for the first time I’ll follow the recipe closely to what it says but after that it’s free spirit time I don’t believe in being exact because you’ll never really learn how to cook if you don’t play around once in a while.
