I'm of the tribe that loves looking at pictures in recipe books and gets inspiration to create my own delicious version of that juicy photo. One of my daughters improvises like that, while the other likes clear measurements and directions. I often say 'a pinch of this' and 'a bit of that' when sharing the making of my latest kitchen creation.
While I know what I mean, she wants clarity, and will make me pull the ingredients and measurements into a clear recipe that can be followed consistently. I'm grateful for her insistence because it helps me gather my new goodies for my next recipe book!
Whether you're 'a pinch of this and a bit of that' type of foodie, or someone who likes clear measurements and consistency, discovery in the kitchen can fun! Courage in the kitchen is the way to get creative and wow yourself and family. Go for it!
