I use recipes for inspiration more than anything, if I'm looking for something different to eat or have an ingredient I want to use but am not quite sure how to.
I just cook. I think I have enough skill to realize when a recipe is going to be terrible or not, for the most part.
I'm also dairy free too, and won't use some flours.
I'm fine with cooking on my own, no recipes. Baking, not so good I suppose.
