Erik: How has recipe writing taught you to be more creative?
Cathy: Ooh. The ingredients are kind of like my paint, and the pan is my canvas, so recipe
writing, I guess there's two facets of it. It's actually doing the recipe with ingredients
and tools and so forth, but having to go back and write it is actually much, much less creative.
It's actually kind of a pain to make it because you want it to be as accurate as possible,
and sometimes you did things in the moment that you might forget, and it just takes a
long time to-- So, I mean, I guess if we're talking about the former, which is recipe
writing as you're doing it, yes, it absolutely is a great outlet for creativity, and it teaches
me to be more creative because I'm always--like my palate is constantly wanting something
different, so I have to come up with something different. So it's a good natural way to be
forced into being a little more creative or doing something a little more differently
because I don't wanna have the same thing that I've had before.
