My attempts at trying new recipes aren't always successful, but it's ok because I learn from every new thing I try, and then adapt it to things I cook all the time when I can.

i try, but i get this thing from my family about "don't mess with my steak/rice/whatever". then we go to a friends and they try something new and say "why don't YOU ever do anything like this? it's really good". i need to just say "dinner is served" rather than asking how they like something. i just got a new bunch of recipies with stuff like mango/corn salad, and i'm growing herbs; little bit different for us. wer're going to spice it up around here, lol.

I love experimenting in the kitchen. It is such a satisfaction to do something new that you have never done before. I am confident that with all of the experimentation I do, I could walk into a culinary school and be just fine. :)

Also, I have my "tried and true" recipies that people have actually requested and are a hit every time- guacomole, creamy cucumbers, buried cherry cookies....

Yes but not if I am going to a function where I don't know a lot of the people. If it is a family thing for me, I will try out something new but I don't want people to give me the "she's a bad cook" title for trying something I made for the first time if it bombs and they have never tried anything yummy I have made before.

I love to try new recipes. There has only been once that a recipe turned out so badly that I actually threw it away and went to the phone to order pizza.

I'm always trying new things in the kitchen. Of course, the new recipes I try are things I know will appeal to my fiance and me, but it's so much fun to find something new to add into the rotation.

I love trying new recipes, but so often I find that the ingredients are so expensive. Living in the middle of DC, food prices are ridiculous, and I can't always afford to spend a lot of money on something that won't come out well or on one expensive spice that I need 2 tablespoons of, but can only buy by the jar.

I always want to cook after watching the Food Network, but I have my favorite shows (and cookbooks) and types of food I usually stick too.

That's why I collect cookbooks -- to cook new things! Funfunfun -- until I have to do the dishes!

Yes I do. I have quite a few Williams Sonoma cookbooks and I regularly go on their website for recipes. They have really delicious items.

I love trying out new recipes or putting a twist on old ones. I'm constantly whipping up something I've never had before.

Ive tried a few new recipes this summer and theyve all turned out pretty good. Nothings more depressing than a new recipe that is a flop! :(

darkoblivion 5 years 45 weeks

At least 3-4 meals per week are something new. I like variety and I love to cook!

Yeah, I love finding and trying new recipes. As long as I don't try to make up a recipe. Those are always a train wreck.

by the time i come home from work, i'm too hungry to get down and dirty in the kitchen. over the weekend, i'm either eating out with my boyfriend or at his parents' house where i get a nice home-cooked meal.

Of course, half the time cooking is about experimenting with new recipes, trying new ingredients and making your own recipes. That's the best fun, right??

lulis 5 years 45 weeks

All the time. I love to cook!

I don't know if it really counts as trying NEW recipes, but I constantly improvise and change the things that I regularly cook. I'll change the spices or try adding something or substituing something. Tuna noodle cassarole is the bomb when you use chopped black olives and not peas.
