During my formative years, there were more foods I did NOT like than foods I did.<br /><br />It was through personalizing the cooking experience - making it my own - that I was able to &quot;control&quot; the product, and ensure I&#39;d be happy with the end result.<br /><br />And I believe that every one can appreciate food in the same way, if they simply look at the bigger picture. Far too often (with recipe-use) it seems people are anxious about deviating from the directions.
