I like the thread idea, and will contribute where I can. My issue is that I don't measure anything and often add ingredients based on taste as I go. I'd be a terrible executive chef because the line cooks wouldn't know what to do! A couple years ago I started documenting my "recipes" for dishes I make often. But for a lot of them I had to guess -- now my goal is to go back through them and test them for accuracy each time I make that meal. So if there's a request I can fulfill, I'll note if it's tested or untested .
