Hi Heather,
Not everyone does cooking by the book! However, an assumingly large amount of these people know their own recipes by heart. If you're trying something new that you saw on the internet or maybe on television, I would strongly advise that you use a recipe to assist you or it could end being a mess!
Good luck with your cooking!

As long as you have a feeling for what goes together and a knowledge of the basics of cookery methods, probably a better result. But you have to learn and practise the basics first. Just remember taste is not a science but cooking methods may be - you can adjust quantities in some things but in others you could wreck what you are trying to do - just think yorkshire pudding!

You only need to do the cooking by the book if you're baking a pretty cake, otherwise there is no problem. =o

Some of the best cooks in the world never open a cookbook.

It's a piece of cake to bake a plate of cake. If the way is hazy, you gotta do the cooking by the book!
We gotta have it made, you know that I love cake! Finally it's time to make a cake!

You can't be lazy. Never use a messy recipe, the cake would end up crazy! If you do it by the book then you'll have a cake.

I never use recipes and things generaly turn out fine. But I am a chef so I do have a bit of an advantage.

i always feel it is best not to follow any recipes 100%!! nothing like your own creation based on some ideas u pick up fm the recipe. recipes in general have far too many rules n bla bla to be followed...
take a risk n make your own la..u will hv funs...

If you ask me you get better taste. I use the book for the basis of ingredients but usually add a couple extra ingredients for flavor.
