I love watching cooking shows and channels. One of my all time favorites would have to be the Food Network: CHOPPED !! I try to remember what I see. I also imagine if I too would enjoy the type of meal made.
In return I go to the store with an idea of something in mind. Then I get home and create a meal with my lovely stash of spices.
I would have a hard time remaking the same dish . However, my audience likes my random meals as much as I do xp

I would not consider writing up any recipes. It's a gift to be able to naturally make a meal worth while without having exact instruction.

Don't get me wrong I would go by a recipe now and then to keep the original flavors in mind. ninja
