Whats for dinner?

For me one of the most important things about cooking is to be creative with whatever is in the cupboard.
Also I think the creativity has to be within you when you are cooking from a recipe as well because you aren't always going to be able to get your hands on all the ingredients in the recipe to be able to cook it exactly the same - and I think this is more and more the case with some of the exotic recipes like Indian Cooking or Chinese Cooking because some of the ingredients in these recipes are only available for specialist shops which may not be in your area or may be out of your budget.
Also when cooking, recipes should only be there as a guideline and you should feel free to express yourself with your recipe and cook an exciting dish that although within the guidelines is exclusively your own little creation.
And you know what?
When you cook like this and it comes off then it always tastes evenmore fantastic than if you just followed the recipe.
