The Cooking Journal

I have inherited my Mother’s style of cooking. I rarely follow a recipe. I usually start out with a recipe and have good intensions of following it but I almost always get sidetracked. I end up throwing in some of this or that and leaving the other out entirely. It’s almost impossible for me to remember how to make the same dish twice. I gave up trying (to remember) and I’ve started writing everything down in a journal. It only takes a few moments and if I come up with a prize winner, I know I can make it exactly the same next time.
