   I feel like strict adherence to food recipes hold people back at times. A recipe is not always a hard and fast rule you must adhere to in order to make food. If you really wanna learn to cook you should try and adapt on the fly and play it by ear a little. A recipe is a starting point for a dish but a true master doesn't need a recipe all the time.

     @Rasp absolutely, one of the ways you know you've gotten decent at cooking is being able to go "whoops guess I'm out of that, oh well, this'll work" and having it still taste good. I tend to only adhere strictly to the recipe the first time I make something new, just to get a feel for what whatever I'm making is "supposed" to taste like, after that I'm probably not even close to the original recipe.

     @rootfake it helps when you learn WHY certain things go in as well so you can use that knowlege for other things
