I tend to precook things. But that comes naturally; a large portion of
my day to day cooking is from standard cooking books like Two 15th
Century Cookbooks. When making a recipie first time I have a fairly good
idea of what the end result will be, and I (too) go slowly along while I
make it. Am I surpised? Sometimes, but quite seldom. My only problem is
picky eaters. Not being one myself I have a hard time figuring out what
will set them off.
