I’m glad you enjoyed it. Experimenting to suit your own tastes is great.
However the first time I make a new recipe that everyone is raving about, I don’t add or subtract ingredients because it drastically alters the taste that created the buzz in the first place.
Then the next time I tweak it to my liking.
For example, I now only use 1/2 the amount of sausage and double the artichokes. I don’t like a heavy garlic taste, so I use 1/2 the amount and chicken broth instead of garlic broth.
