Jacques Pepin - On making a written recipe your own ~
"If you do a recipe, you should probably follow the recipe to do justice to whoever wrote the recipe. And if it turned out good, you're probably likely to do it again. And the second time, you take a faster route. Maybe the third time, you still take a look at the recipe time of cooking, and by the fourth time you ... improve the recipe, you like it with a little more tomato or cooked a little less or more. And a year later, you don't even remember where it came from. There is that gradation. And it has become your recipe, you know, and that's the proper way of doing it."
