Whether in baking, cooking, "jamming".....a recipe of some sort is helpful. I can't imagine trying to bake a cake, cook a food I can't pronounce or make many things that require exact measurements, certain temps in the oven or on a candy thermometer. Nope! Foods expensive, can't afford to mess up and since being in the kitchen is truly a LABOR OF LOVE for me, I wouldn't attempt anything without an understandable guide. This is what the Bible is to me. A RECIPE for life....in short, HOW to do it RIGHT!!! :)
