My mother-in-law is the exact opposite; she looks in the pantry, sees what she has, and throws it all together. The best part is, it always comes out AMAZING. So, when we moved overseas, I had to get a bit creative with recipes because I couldn't always find the ingredients I needed (or they were imported from the USA and super duper expensive!). I think I've achieved some sort of balance now. I still follow recipes, especially if it's something new, but I've started tweeking and playing with things that I've made in the past, or do the old "throw-it-in-a-pot-and-see-what-happens" trick. I think I might have to add that cookbook to my collection. It looked AWESOME.Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703355117323440745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2561208268129950183.post-37697973162814225292011-06-24T05:10:14.702-07:002011-06-24T05:10:14.702-07:00I have always "liked" to cook, but I too...I have always "liked" to cook, but I too discovered America's Test Kitchen many years ago and really got into cooking; being more adventuresome. Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals (Food Network, of coarse) as well as Lidia's Italy (PBS) have also inspired me to be adventurous. Made some wonderful crab cakes the other day (using fresh crab from HEB Central Market). I mean they were CRAB cakes (little filler). Recipe's a la "allrecipes.com", plus they sometimes have videos of "how to make....". Kinda fun! Keep exploring!
