Well, if I'm cooking something I've never cooked before I will look at a recipe; otherwise I mostly just make it up as I go along. I also tend not to measure anything at all. Fortunately, most people seem to like what I cook.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CookingWhileAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CookingWhileAutistic</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>Most people (I guess?): Finds a recipe, then follows the recipe.</p><p>Me: Finds a recipe, finds a couple more similar recipes, mentally compares the recipes, breaks down all the common elements (basically deconstructing the recipe), looks around to see what ingredients I have on hand, then re-constructs the recipe based on ingredients on hand (unless I happen to be going to the store), jots down rough notes, creates a new recipe (tweaking as needed).</p><p>Does anyone else do this? I know some folks who can just throw together ingredients (and I can do that too) -- but I prefer having a "formula" and notes so I can replicate it in the future (if it comes out well), or tweak as needed.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recipes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cooking</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodPreparation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodPreparation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ScienceExperiments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceExperiments</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CookingWhileAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CookingWhileAutistic</span></a>?</p>
