Well I think back in the 60's I stuck with the recipes. I do get good
ideas for what to make from recipes...But I do change them to suit my
needs. Many people do...leave out the olives or coconut (because you
don't care for them) or add more garlic is the way it starts for many
people. I have a desire to be artistic but can neither draw, paint or
write well so...that leaves recipes.
