When it comes to cooking, there are 2 main ways that the process of cooking can be done. Free hand cooking and recipe cooking are the 2 main ways that people cook. Most people resort to free hand cooking, because they like to make things the way they like to. Free hand cooking and recipe cooking differ in process, errors, and measurements. Free hand cooking is one of the best ways to cook, because as long as you know the main points of a dish then you can put it together yourself. For example, if you are making chicken curry then you know the main ingredient of the dish is curry powder or whatever kind of curry base you like to use and then you can just add whatever other flavors and seasonings that you want to. However, when it comes to recipe cooking you find that sometimes there may be flavors in that recipe that you may not like and removing them, could possibly change the whole dish and that could hurt your finished product in the end. Another thing about recipe cooking is following the steps, step by step. When cooking following a recipe can be difficult because you can easily misread something and it can get a little frustrating if you mess up because there may be no possible way that you can fix it. The free hand process to me is a lot easier because I never follow a recipe unless it’s something I’ve never made before, then once I’ve seen the recipe and how it’s made, I then put my own twists on it. Another thing is, the process with free hand cooking is that there is no process because it all depends on your creativity and you knowing what you want, what you don’t want, and how much you want in your food, so there is no stress of reading a recipe that is not you and your creativity. However, the process could be a little longer then recipe cooking because recipes are designed to make cooking time shorter with the step by step instructions but with free hand people don’t have that list of cooking time, temperature,
