How do you usually change recipes you make?

I always follow recipes exactly (0.0%)

Sometimes I follow recipes, sometimes I make changes (80.9%)

I always change up a recipe when I cook (19.1%)

Cook? Recipes? Nope, not me (0.0%)

    Generally, I follow a new recipe exactly the first time I make it. If I make it a second time, I "tweak" it, if there is something about it I think can be made better.

    I generally follow a recipe. I am far from an experienced enough cook to go tinkering with a recipe someone far superior to me has created. However if I really want to make a recipe that includes an ingredient or herb I don't care for I'll substitute on occasion and it usually works

    I love creating new ways to enjoy a recipe!
