Response from Антон Владимирович[+++++]
Khoja Nasreddin once said to his wife: -"I saw a rich man eating sweets at the bazaar. It was so delicious, but I've never tasted it. Bake me some sweets, wife. -"But, darling," says she, "we don't have any honey. -"Well," says Hodja, "bake it with milk. -But we don't have milk either. -Bake with water. -But we don't have white flour. -But we have no white flour. -But we have no white flour. My wife kneaded black flour with water, baked it and served it to Hodja. He eats it and spits: -How can these rich people eat such sweets with pleasure? Moral: do not deviate from the recipe!

Another dish from what is
I'll run to the store or make something else.
So there will be half of the dish.
I do it all the time. Rarely do I follow a recipe completely, but it's nice to invent something of my own.
That's how you get new recipes!
Not like getting groceries at the store or a neighbor!
I will see if the products are combined, you can cook without missing, and if these are not the main thing in the dish, please experiment, do not be afraid,.As they say in the hands of an unskilled person does not hurt-
Cook it with what you have and present it to the guests as a specialty: I've done it, it's going great.
It depends on the recipe. In baking, many ingredients can be substituted or made by yourself from the products you have. You can experiment with everything else, too. In addition, often when I read recipes, I refine them on the fly according to my own taste preferences.
That's okay, you can substitute something else, or dream up and make something of your own.
