I love to try new things. I have always been able to taste and recreate. Now that I have have the time, I am trying to follow recipes. It started 5 years ago when my daughter in law assigned everyone a recipe from a Bon Appetite Thanksgiving menu.The family made bets that I could and would recreate the taste, but that I could not follow it to the letter...I did, and the good tasting ones I put on a diet, changed in other words, and continue to get requests for. I had been looking for and trying to recreate a stuffed baked flounder, with crab and white wine sauce. Cracked the crab and thought it had stuffing in it...$$$$$ and it was awful!!!
