Did you make this recipe?
We would love to know how did it go for you! Tag us on Instagram at @HungryPanda and leave a comment below
Admittedly, I've been cooking for a very long time, but it doesn't matter whether I'm baking or stewing or roasting or any other kind of cooking, I really don't bother with recipes or amounts. I've been doing it long enough to know when it looks/feels/smells/tastes right. And nobody ever complains about my cooking, so I guess I'm doing something right.
How it should be!
The more I cook, the more I understand why my grandma's recipies uses " a pinch" of this and "a touch" of that. I do follow recipies pretty closely the first few times I make something, but after that I like to experiment with spices
I rarely follow the rules. I don’t follow recipes, I don’t measure, I follow my tried and true methods, I know how things should taste, I know what flavors work well together. I don’t need other people to tell me those things. Cooking is an art, art shouldn’t have rules.
I agree with you with a small, personal caveat. I needed to learn the basics first, needed to understand the rules so I knew how and when to break them.
That's true for pretty much everything, though. I learned how to cook and bake when I was 8 years old, almost 62 years ago, from my parents. There are some very few times I have to follow a particular (usually unknown to me) recipe the first time around, and from there I make any adjustments. But, yes, there are times it's best to follow the stated measurements and get the feel of the recipe. It's entirely up to the cook, as it should be!
One of the things that my mom suggested was buy what the locals buy. As in, in India, many make rotis daily. Most people who probably have shifted to the city or are too busy or something choose to go to big brands selling the flour.... My mom told me to speak to the cook who made my food. What can she recommend? She told me of a local brand that is good, priced well and does not make the rotis chewy. If you want to make say Indian food, ask the Indian friend where he or she gets his local stuff. You get the good stuff at good price.
I was taught that if you live in a country where markets are the norm, don't shop for fresh produce in grocery stores. (I did it once and got food poisoning for my troubles. I know correlation is not causation, but the experience made me not want to chance it.) The reason I was given was that food gets brought in fresh to the markets daily, but you never knew how long the stuff in the stores had spent on the shelf.
Agreed with fresh produce. I prefer shopping from vegetable or fruit vendors... Once they know you, they will keep provide more good stuff. Of course, they will provide good stuff retrospectively... At times, if i fall short of cash, they adjust the amount to next time...
