There can be a bazillion reviews for a specific recipe featured on line, and a trillion of them will state: I followed the recipe exactly, except I…
I’ve always been amused by these comments.

SOMETIMES I’m amused, and sometimes I am curious about the source of the original recipe, and if there is a way to research it further…but not curious enough to try to find out!

I’m pretty much incapable of exactly following a recipe, and that includes crafting, yarning, and sewing as well.
Onion? I’m using more; salt, I’m using less. White flour? Nope, white whole wheat… and so on. So I very rarely review recipes!

My favorites are the reviews that go " this recipe did not turn out well at all/did not like this recipe. I substituted this for that and left out this other thing etc…"

I see these recipes as nothing but a disaster . Recipe sabotage . This and that , cooking times . For sure .we will go with that . American test kitchen fried chicken for starters.

Reminded me of my younger cooking days, I have always did that, or trying to be creative and wondered why things wasn’t working. One day I decided to start following closely all ingredients and steps, from then on I started to get some satisfactory result. But still there are many recipes out there, it is a waste of time and money.
