I always do that. I don't cook enough to be able to 'wing it'. But especially the first few times. Stuff I've made for ages (aka, my chicken tortilla soup) I can do in my sleep, but with new recipes all ingredients, utensils, etc, laid out in advance. And even then it can be tricky if it's a 'fast' recipe. I'll try the carbonara on Saturday & report back.
Cheers.
