When you are cooking a recipe for the first time it is always a wise thing to follow it to the letter so you are sure that the outcome is close to what the original chef intended it to be. But after cooking it a few times and when you are getting comfortable with it you can change a few things around if you feel like it. Don’t think that you are doing something wrong by not sticking to the recipe, there are always certain things in a recipe that is not exactly to you taste so your are allowed to change them a bit.
Kapag ikaw ay pagluluto ng isang recipe para sa unang pagkakataon palagi itong ay isang matalino bagay na dapat sundin ito sa sulat upang sigurado ka ba na ang kinalabasan ay malapit sa kung ano ang nilalayon nito ang orihinal na chef na maging. Ngunit pagkatapos ng pagluluto ito ng ilang oras at kapag ikaw ay maging kumportable sa ito maaari mong baguhin ang ilang mga bagay sa paligid kung sa palagay mo na tulad nito.
