One reason is because some of the best homegrown (self-educated or family taught) chefs I know have developed their own styles by "winging it". My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother all have amazing homegrown cooking skills and they seem to just go with the flow on some of their best dishes. I also believe that the deliciousity (is that even a word?) is unique when the chef spices to their own preference instead of following uniform instructions. Now don't get me wrong, some chefs can go all out using a measure-for-measure recipe, but I feel as if it takes the fun out of creating something new and different.
And the number one reason why I don't measure?
Because measuring cups make better hats.
