I love to cook and never follow a recipies exactly it makes it so much better when you add your own spice! Make sure if you try baking though to follow the recipie exactly!
How to be a better cook
How I did it: I just started with some recipes that I wanted to try and I started cooking! I would try new ingredients to see if it tasted good or not - it's really not that hard.
I found that messing up is the best way to discover what ingredients DO NOT go together.
Lessons & tips: Start simple.
Constantly taste what you're making so you can get a feel for what all of the ingredients taste like.
Deviate from recipes if you think it needs something else - the best cooks don't follow recipes!
