Yeah, I just sort of eyeball it. I'd be interested in how often other posters follow recipes v tasting as you cook. The person who really taught me how to cook was my Neapolitan uncle. There was never a recipe in sight, just a little bit of this a little bit of that. Most of his recipes were dead simple, but the flavours were astounding. You can look like a superstar with 3-4 ingredients. When I'm trying something new, I usually look at a few recipes just to see what the flavours are then adjust to my own taste.

How about everyone else?
