it implies that your shit cooking is special and unique and that your minor modifications to the traditional recipe are in any way significant

like spa-peggy and meatballs from king of the hill. normal spaghetti. with a tiny bit of sugar and parmesan added. wao whata secret ingredient.

Every time I've ever heard that said, the food was always shit. For example, my wife's stuffing. Don't tell her I said that. But Stovetop would destroy her stuffing (that takes 3 hours to make) in a taste test.

It's awkward when you are better in the kitchen than your wife, but you can't say so because it would discourage her from cooking.

There should be a movie about restaurant owners who will do anything to protect their secret recipe. Imagine The Prestige but with restaurant owners.

[Anonymous No.9497096]

>dude its just a minor change
literally any change to a basic recipe is a huge one and the very fact that you didn't think of that "minor change" when you always make that recipe means that the secret is important

I once dated a girl whose mom use to cook amazing collard green mixture. She also cooked other things, but there was something special about those greens.
So I asked her for the recipe, and she outright refused to give it to me. "You'll have to marry my daughter if you want in on the recipe."
Yeah like that's going to happen.

The only other time I met someone who made legendary food was this girl who cooked these incredible cookies. I asked for the recipe, and she gave it to me easily.
Except when I cooked it exactly the way she described, they tasted noticeably different.
Bitch left out/changed one of the ingredients. That shit pisses me off even more, because it actually gives you a glimmer of hope before you're totally crushed.

I've met a Haitian from New Oleans who believed his family cooking for gumbo was so good, it deserved to be shared with everyone. So he posted the recipe in its entirety on allrecipes. His family found out and blasted him in the comments.

But why wouldn't you want to share great tasting food with as many people as possible? It's a simple way to bring happiness to others.

lol, I bet you get your recipes from the internet

[Anonymous No.9498512]

>>9498506
Nah I always wing it myself, but you can't use spoiler tags on this board for some reason.

Actually, let me rephrase, I wing it for cooking, but I measure for baking. The smallest thing can fuck over a cake or cookies and you'd never pinpoint it without measurements, but for most cooking you can get by.

[Anonymous No.9498514]

>>9498506
Saying "just wing it" is fine if it's something that you can slowly add at the end and keep tasting to see if it needs more, but if it's something that you add at the beginning you should at least give a rough estimate.

That's why I got a scale when I started getting more into making bread. Inconsistencies with measuring flour in a cup made it hard to get the same texture of bread each time.

>But why wouldn't you want to share great tasting food with as many people as possible?
Maybe because it makes them feel like people will think of them less often. Instead of thinking "Hey I should go visit this person for that good food they make" they'll just make the food themselves.

You're not substituting salt for sugar in the same amounts, but a tiny bit of it can help cut bitterness. Like how people put salt in desserts, it's not really there to make it taste salty, but it makes stuff taste sweeter by removing some bitterness.
