I cook, in fact I've been teaching others to cook because my family taught me to cook from a young age.

I often cook by taste and appearance rather than a recipe using that as more of a guide than anything.

it's something I do by instinct more than anything...

of course when someone has been using a recipe and doesn't know the other teaching them is at first an exercise in getting them to forget a lot of stuff first so they can learn to do it freeform instead.

there's huge advantages in this method too because it means you can theoretically cook anything and make it taste good with enough practice.

I also take pride in being able to cook given the number of people in my generation who either can't or rely on microwave food over making something themselves.
