As much as I can tolerate, I always try to follow a recipe pretty closely
the first time I make it (except perhaps increasing chile content by some
predictable but reasonably constant factor).
My notion is that if I "improve" recipes before I try the unadulturated
version, I risk reducing my exposure to new and different tastes since my
improvements of course tend to move everything into the same directions
where I'm already familiar (how else would I know it's an "improvement").
