Are you a user of online ones? A reader of cookbooks? Got your family recipes written in a book you keep locked away for safety? Or do you just throw things together and never read an actual recipe?
My husband reads cookbooks for fun, and I have books on different cakes and puddings. But the ones that get used the most are written on scraps of paper and kept in a plastic wallet. Things my mum showed me, or ones I've adapted from recipes I've found.
How about you?  |

Old cook books have well thumbed or loved pages, but usually it's scraps from magazines quickly stuffed into the book or those leaflets from the supermarket. If they're good, they get stuck.
I am a sucker for watching YouTube videos for recipes, get the general gist and go from there, maybe refer to the website a smidgen during the cook.
Except for baking, that's science, and requires the appropriate respect for success. No going by feel, weigh. |

I only tend to save baking recipes, cooking recipes become much more variable, I tend to think of baking as a science where you really need to get all the ingredients in the right proportions or it fails, and cooking as more of an art and is much more about how you’re feeling that day and what you want to throw in. |

I have a folder in my notes app for this sort of thing, folders within folders really so I’ve one for eggs recipes, one for mushrooms, one for baking (you do need to be precise with proportions for this so I have to remind myself) Cooking really just takes a glance and once I start the actual process it comes back to me anyway.
I’m in a rut at the moment though where it’s either pasta, stir fry or salad! The occasional omelette need new ideas and need to stop being lazy about it |

I use a free app.. Its amazing.. I can add an electronic recipe with one press of a button, create a shoping list, a meal plan.. Rate the recipes, share them.. And add my own recipes. I can also tag them (starter, dessert, xmas etc) and search them
I have 2k recipes  |

Depends what I'm making but mostly all my recpies are in my head.or thrown together. Juat gotta improvise and use what is in hands sometime.
I'll load something up on YouTube or my phone if I fancy trying something new though. Watch enough food porn to be constantly inspired to try new stuff, especially Eastern and Asian recipes. |
