CarrieMpls said: When baking I always follow the recipe. Baking is a science.
When cooking, I tend to doctor things up my own way if I'm trying a new recipe or not. I'll add things I think sound good, or play with the amounts of seasonings to suit my own tastes. I'm like that too. With cooking, there's almost always a way to fix what you fucked up. With baking, not so much. Shake it til ya make it  | |

Last night we had salmon fillets topped with sundried tomato pesto, lentils simmered in white wine with shallots, sauteed ginger spinach, and balsamic carrot salad with fresh mint & parsley. All of that was kinda just thrown together off the top of my head, no recipes. I always cook like that.
I can bake simple cakes without instructions (without really measuring either, which is a bad thing because I never know what to put when I want to give someone a recipe). But for more complicated desserts with varying textures, like tiramisu for example, I go straight to the recipe file or THE BOX 
This weekend I bought a bag of apples and will bake an apple cake, but that's one of those I can kinda just throw together without really looking... so it should be okay...I hope  [Edited 4/12/08 3:56am] | |

I'm like you that way but I done the apple cake so many times I know it by heart 
tonight I made stroganoff, it's different every time I make it, since it depends on what I have in the pantry, but usually always delish | |
