 I suck at creating dishes though. In fact I suck at most things creative, technical/logical things are what I do, and real cooking is art, not maths

Haha, this reminds me of those cookery programs where people ring in and ask the chef questions...
"If I like it spicy can I add chili powder?" "Yes" "I'm allergic to nuts, can I use olive oil instead of walnut oil?" "Yes" "My saucepan is a different colour to yours, will it make a difference?" "FFS!" A lot of people see recipes like science experiments and if they change the ingredients or the amounts will cause it to blow up or something. Just do what you like to make it taste good! (Not aimed at the people here, it just reminded me )

 I'm not really a creative person really either, however I can just look at stuff and think, let's try that, and do this and so on - and often it comes out rather well. But I have some basic understanding of cooking, and what works well with what... after that comes inspiration, and genius, both of which I'm not that great at! Of course a dash and a pinch of skill is also very important. I wonder if you could do "logical" cooking?! It's basically Chemistry - well the processes are... I wonder if you could extrapolate some sort of mathematical template?

I absolutely suck at cooking, and being as fussy as I am gives me no real chance to experiment (though when we get our house that's something I'm determined to change).
However, I do rock when it comes to baking cakes. My chocolate cheesecakes kick ass

I could eat a whole cheesecake right now.
And to my shame I had a Crunchie for breakfast. Oh well, gym at lunchtime!

I could eat a whole cheesecake any time. I don't make them very often, but I've seen recipes for an Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake which looks very very nice, might give it a whirl in the next half-term (with pictoral evidence of course).
