I'm a 20-something who has been cooking for a long time. I tend to follow recipes when I cook 90% of the time, but I'm slowly learning to be more relaxed about modifying them. I spent a year in Japan when I was in high school, so I have a great love of Japanese cuisine. I also very much have a sweet tooth, so I like to bake quite a bit. I been slowly attempting to remove most processed foods from my diet along with high-fructose corn syrup and partially-hydrogenated fats. I has gone well so far, but there are some frustrations. It can be problematic because such foods are often more expensive, and low-fat foods can contain a plethora of non-natural ingredients.
