When you cook, do you follow a recipe?
Now if you do, let me ask you this… Do you have any recipes memorized?
If so, how many?
I started to think about this little question after making my grandma’s banana bread… and that is just something I could actualy make with my eyes closed backwards. 🙂
Just one of those recipes that I have been making for so long it has become imbedded in my memory. Now for other different recipes, a cookbook is need to be whipped out for a guideline.
So let me ask again, “Do you have any recipes memorized? and if so which ones?”
Probably the only one that is truly memorized is the chocolate chip cookie pie I make (Nestle’s version, but only 1/2 cup butter). It’s yummy.
Then there are some dinner recipes that can be “off” a bit, so I don’t need to look at the recipe.
I don’t think I really have any recipes memorized… I rarely cook exactly from a recipe, though. I tend to mix things up every time I make a dish and often just go with whatever comes to mind, skipping a recipe entirely.
