If you’re the kind of person who likes to buy cookbooks but not follow the recipes to a T, we understand. We encourage you to get creative with these recipes and truly make them your own. Our testers did, usually with great success.
But there are a few things you should keep in mind before you start playing Iron Chef with these (or any) recipes. We share these tips not because it’s our way or the highway, but because we know that food matters. We don’t want you to waste time, money, and energy on a doctored recipe only to have it be a flop!
