Having been a professional cook for so long (and an unprofessional one for 
much longer), I have developed every cooks innate ability to instinctively 
know how to make changes to a dish to achieve a desired effect or 
flavor/texture.  I do this with almost every recipe I use, often without 
trying the original first.  This will be a very difficult habit to break as I 
delve deeper into the "re-creation" aspects of medieval cooking.
