When we cook, we all follow a recipe at some point. The problem is, that these recipes are made to the taste of the person writing the recipe, not essentially to yourself. I just wanted to share my way of tweaking, and most importantly, remembering what you did to make the recipe sing!
Let me give you the best example, you decide you want to have a go at cooking a certain dish, lets use Spaghetti Bolognaise in this example, so you jump online and look up a recipe. You find the one you want and print it out. What I suggest is getting yourself a notepad or a small exercise book etc and stick the recipe in it, leaving enough room for notes.
After everything is prepared for the dish you start cooking but when tasting you think it needs something extra, so you add some more garlic. Make a note in the book that it needed an extra clove, or anything else that you add along the way. By doing this you not only tailor the recipe to your tastes, but in 6 months time you will remember how to recreate it perfectly.
Not only will this book become your cooking bible, it can be passed down through your family for generations.

This is a really good idea, it makes all your recipes unique rather than just the same as everyone elses.
