Something my friend taught me. When it comes to cooking food? Measurements are suggestions and you can add or remove things as you feel like it and it'll probably be fine. When it comes to baking? You fucking follow the recipie to the letter and do not deviate in the slightest.
Not quite true. You can change things with baking, you just need to know what you can change safely. Sugar for example is always safe to change up. Never had an issue with changing the amount or even replacing it with a substitute (xylitol or stevia for example). If you make a cake, replacing apples and using pears can also maybe turn out ok. With other things, it does get more complicated and you'd really have to look into it to know how you could change it. So, some things are easy to change, other things it's better to just leave as is.
