Recipes When you don\u2019t need a\u00a0recipe for perfect results<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n\n- I\u00a0saw an\u00a0appetizing pie in\u00a0an\u00a0expensive cookbook. Usually I\u00a0cook by\u00a0the rule of\u00a0thumb, choosing the proportions instinctively, but this was a\u00a0recipe from a\u00a0famous French chef, so\u00a0I decided to\u00a0do\u00a0everything exactly like in\u00a0the book, with scales and a\u00a0measuring cup.
I\u00a0thought that the dough was a\u00a0bit runny, but maybe it\u2019s just me\u00a0not catching up\u00a0with haute cuisine? So\u00a0I\u00a0baked\u00a0it. I\u00a0ate\u00a0it, of\u00a0course, but the dough was really a\u00a0bit runny, the pie fell off.
Next time, I\u00a0just made it\u00a0as\u00a0I used\u00a0to, by\u00a0the rule of\u00a0thumb. It\u00a0came out perfect!
