Last Seen...Following Recipes

Men in Gorilla Suits

Do you follow recipes, or wing it and see what happens? Maybe you just love the look of cookbooks, with all those great photos. Some recipes are passed down for generations; others seem to come out of nowhere like a one-hit wonder and fade away. But it's clear that humans enjoy food...and the recipes that can make it even better...

The Gorillamen didn't even turn this one dark!

Here's what's discussed:

• What's the first recipe you remember seeing?
• How well do you follow recipes?
• What's the best recipe you've ever followed?
• What's the worst recipe you've ever followed?
• What's the strangest recipe you've ever made?
• Have you ever made your own recipes? If so: what?
• What's the last recipe you followed?
• Do you have any cherished family recipes?
• Cookbooks…are you a fan? (If so, how many do you have?)
• How has the Internet changed the ways we look at recipes and cookbooks?
• What do you think about the blog story recipe, where someone goes on (and sometimes on and on) with a story before sharing the recipe?
• What's the future of recipes?
