The kitchen is where I exercise freedom the most, i.e., I don't like following recipes. I prefer to experiment, to modify rules based on experience, to have fun.

That said, I have been keeping a recipe file organizer since I was 13. Because as much as I like to "be free" in the kitchen, there is a minimum set of rules that must be followed. I share (most) my recipes here, selfishly organized in a pattern that helps me answer a daily question: "What do I want to cook?".
