      Answer Example

      "I am absolutely able to follow recipes, and especially love to follow the recipes that are the classics. When it comes to more modern baking, I like to be creative and deviate from the recipe."

      "When I try a new recipe I measure out my ingredients precisely and once I get the hang of it I start to tweak things based on what I think would make it taste better. Like the European honey cake the first few times I followed the recipe exactly and then I realized I should add a little more honey to bring out the flavor."

      Stephanie's Feedback

      Your response shows that you know how to follow a recipe with precision (which is important at any baking job,) but you also know to tweak the process to get the best final result. To strengthen your response, I suggest adding a final sentence to close the loop, such as, "While following recipes accurately is really important, as an experienced baker, it's important to be able to critique a final product and experiment with ways to improve it."
