Recipes are important for cooking because it shows the ingredients needed for a certain dish, the correct measurement needed and how to properly prepare the dish we plan to cook or bake. However, some people would beg to differ. Cooking, grilling, boiling or braising food can either be done with or without following the exact recipe because you can easily adjust how you wanted your dish to taste.
Note: I stated, “exact recipe”, but it is still highly recommended for beginners to check the recipe before they experiment with other ingredients. However, it is not the case when it comes to baking. Here, it is extremely important that you follow a recipe because you need the exact measurements or the recipe will not work.
