If it is something baked as in a pastry or cake, I will almost always
follow the recipe pretty closely until I am familiar with the results.
If it is something else I may add extra spices or change ingredients a
bit.

Cooking methods are something else I've played with recently but
probably not that dramatically. Subbing a pressure cooker or dutch oven
for a slow cooker for example.
