I try to explain myself. How do you consider a recipe? Is it a beginning (on which you can do you personal variations) or is it a point of arrive, the final destiny of your efforts? What's the utility of a recipe?
For me, a recipe is the only way to get again that particular taste that I loved so much "that time"..
Of course, I can do my variations, but generally I do only in trying new pairings with foods. Whem I do, f.i. "carbonara", I try to do exactly what "carbonara" is. I look for the correct ingredients, the right pasta (spaghetti and not, F.i, maccheroni), the right ham (cheek, not bacon) and so on.
Or, otherwise, I say that I have got a suggest, and I've tried and obtained a new recipe (f.i. I've tried carbonara with some onions: not bad, but NO carbonara). What do you think about?
