When I want to cook something new I'll grab several recipes and compare the ingredients and relative measures to get a meta-concept of what constitutes the fundamental essence of that dish. I use that as a base reference but actually cook by intuition/taste. For me a recipe is mainly a list of ingredients, with the execution being a matter of personal preference.
