I just wing it and it usually turns out well. I'd like to learn how to make and bake desserts but I'm afraid I'll get so good at it that I become very fat.
I only bake desserts when I know there will be a crowd to share them with!
I tend to wing it when I am cooking, too. Sometimes I'll read several recipes for the same dish, to get a feel for what people do, and then modify it .
I don't either except for baking but I don't really bake much. I just take things I like, add spices and mix it and together and voila a good dinner lol
I tend to still follow recipes when baking because the chemistry matters more. But otherwise I'm pretty good at throwing stuff together and sometimes I like to experiment just because.
