Do you cook from recipes or stratch?

[reiddb]

I mostly use recipes from scratch! Love it!

[bowrunner]

I do some of both.  Sometimes I just have a pot pie or TV dinner but mostly I do cook from scratch, especially chili and soups.

Nope, I usually need to follow some kind of recipe. Even still, I have made some delicious food using recipes.

I cook from scratch and from recipes.  It all depends on what mood I'm in.  My mother taught me to cook at an early age, which I really appreciate.  It's nice to be able to go in the kitchen and prepare a meal from scratch and not need a recipe and have a fantastic meal.

I don't cook from either

It depend on what I make, but mostly I'll cook from recipes.

Both!! There are some recipes that I would not deviate from, but it's just as fun to throw good ingredients together and come up with something new.

Most of them time you can't recreate it later on, but that's just part of the fun of it.  I follow directions to bake most of the time.  But other things I like to throw stuff together to see what comes out.  We have so much stuff in our garden right now this is really fun.

do both but usually use a recipe

Both I cook from scratch and I look up recipies o line and in books also from memory like when someone tells you how to make something without writing it down

Are you one of those great fancy cooks that can throw some ingredients
together and make a fanastic meal or a more basic cook that prepares meals
via recipes.

i prefer  to cook from my oven overall

[shepherdchik]

I've done both. I can throw something together quick for dinner with whatever I have or I'll try a new dish with a recipe.

I do both. I think I am a pretty decent cook. Growing up my mom didn't have a lot of money so she taught me how to throw things together that you wouldn't think to throw together and make a great meal.

I don't exactly follow recipes and like to make meals from scratch.

[ladycasshmere]

If it is cookies or cake I use recipes. For things like lasagna, macaroni and pasta salads I do from scratch

[tantricia44]

I would like to but I end up using really to warm food!
