[quote=Anonymous]I learned a lot from my mom. Only a few specific recipes, but a lot of technique. How to cut butter into flour for a pie crust, how to tell when the salmon is cooked, etc. In my 20's, I did a lot of simple recipes and trial & error, building on what I learned from my mom. Late 20's and 30's, started branching out to more complex recipes. Now, I use a recipe if I'm trying a completely new recipe or technique, or baking. Otherwise, I tinker a lot, swapping flavorings based on what I know I like. I read a lot of cooking magazines for inspirations, but rarely follow them exactly. One thing I learned from my mom: the importance of high-quality ingredients![/quote]
