How often do you follow a recipe exactly as written?

When anyone in my boyfriend's family cooks they stick to the recipe exactly, without changing. I stay close, but usually I don't measure as well as I could. The only time I really ran into a problem was when I accidentally used the half cup only for this whole recipe that called for cups...the cookies I made were a little thick and there was hardly any dough--but I didn't actually notice my mistake until doing the dishes later. Otherwise, it's never been a problem.

Cook the Book: Apple Pie

My boyfriend prides himself on his apple pie making skills. This year, we used fresh apples from the farmers market and it made a sure difference! The apples were small so it took a lot more but the flavor was outstanding. The pies turn out so flavorful that just when you turn around for another slice, there are only crumbs because no one can leave it just sitting there.

Cook the Book: Apple Pie

A few years ago my mom and I set out to make the best apple pie. We tried a few different recipes but eventually combined recipes and our own baking genius to come up with a crumb topping apple pie that is definitely the best I've ever had. I think I'm getting hungry...
