[quote=Anonymous]Keep doing what you are doing -- but instead of thinking that you are learning how to make specific dishes or recipes, think about them as examples of techniques. By that I mean that once you learn how to do something (grill a steak), then figure out what else you can use that technique on. Can you grill a chicken breast? Can you grill an onion slice or a hunk of broccoli? And if so, what adjustments to do you need to make to your technique for these? If you can bake a potato in the microwave, switch it out to a sweet potato. As to how to figure out how to create recipes from whole cloth, pairing ingredients with each other ... I think that's just experience. I frequently create new recipes from scratch, which involves imagining what the ingredients will taste like in combination. I think you have to do a lot of eating to be able to do this![/quote]
