Do you believe in following recipes exactly, or do you improvise?
I have to improvise some so as not to be too bored.

following recipes exactly
I don't like playing with things... I like doing them and keeping track of them exactly.

It depends on what you want. A recipe is simply a path you take to get to reach the destination: the taste. Every dish starts with ingredients and ends with what you taste. If you want the exact same taste each and every time, you follow the recipe. If you want to change it, then you improvise.

I tend to improvise most of the time.
Recipes serve as suggestions, not strict rules.

Same. I would get bored plus it's more economical to substitute for what already in your kitchen. But lately my cooking tastes not that great compared to Uber Eats. Uber Eats has spoiled me for my own cooking.
