How it Works

I never follow a recipe. I use recipes, but I never follow them, If something calls for one thing and I use another and it makes it super yummy, then that's how it works. Arecipe is a tool to jump off of. There are no Kitchen Police. If A works, the B should work too. As simple as substituting an ingredient with one that you like better or with one that you have on hand. It's kind of like proving a Math theory but with food. If A works then B works. Take a recipe you know by heart and are a little board with and shake it up a little.
I am the first to make fun of TV cooks who are always "putting a twist on a classic" because it's been done to death.I am talking about "doing what you want" cause no one is going to tell on you. Do what you want in the kitchen.
