How do you do you general cooking?

When cooking generally, do you use a recipe or do it my taste. I personally don't cook much but when I do I like to do it by taste when it comes to spaghetti and mince, fried meat with sauce and chips...

Unless it's something I'm making for the first time, I don't follow a recipe. I just use whatever I think will work with the dish-nothing is the same way twice. I'm constantly tweaking my personal recipes like that.

Most of the time when I cook, I prefer to cook by taste. I have so many different herbs and spices. And I love to mix the flavors in spaghetti sauce, lasagna, meatloaf, Chicken and so much more. Very seldom do I ever use a recipe and only then if it is a new dish I haven't tried yet.

I don't really like cooking so I just cook basic foods. I would never use a recipe book unless I was baking cakes or somthing special. I usually just cook chops and three vegetables for week days and some tinned deserts for afterwards. At weekends, I usually eat out or order takeaways. Saturday and Sundays are my rest days - that's my excuse for not cooking for two days. Ha, ha.

I wish I could cook to taste but unfortunately I don't seem to have this ability. I am one of those people who absolutely has to have a recipe to follow as I have no idea what spices go with what. There are very few things I can make without a recipe, although hopefully some day I will learn to do this.

Unless I'm making something I've never made before, I do things by taste. Literally. lol. I'm one of those people who is full by the time dinner is finished cooking because I've taken "just a little taste" once or twice or a dozen or so times while dinner is cooking. Even when I use my crockpot. It's almost impossible for me to just cover it and leave it.

I dont cook very well, but normally when I cook i make rice,bean, meat and french fry. I like it and make a salad too. I like to make a cake for after meals and orange juice or watermelon juice that I love. My mother knows cooking very well and she makes very different things like lasagna, fricacĂȘ, strogonoff and more other thing.
