I was going to post this anyway, but Cassandra W poked me into doing it this way.
Ari Meermans and I have chatted briefly about cooking styles. She tosses things together. So do I, usually. Even when following a recipe, my reaction to eating it the first time is to decide how I will tweak the recipe next time.
I've got several dishes I regularly cook that I invented (Chicken Wonderfulness, Burgundy Beef, Taco Casserole, Macaroni Tuna salad) and others where I've changed the original recipe so substantially that it's almost a new dish (Casserole ULTRAGOTHA, Green Tomato Chicken Enchiladas, Sugar Plum Spice Cake, Pumpkin Custard, Gwen Salad).
How do you cook? Do you always follow a recipe? Do you throw things together from what's in the fridge? Do you start with a recipe and then make alterations?
What's your most successful dish?
