I'll watch a few different youtubers and if they do a recipe that sounds good I'll do my own version of it. If it's a classic difficult recipe then I'll probably follow it pretty closely the first time but I almost never make the same thing the same way twice because that's a waste of a good opportunity to experiment.
Occasionally I'll just google a recipe if I'm in the mood to try making something new and I want a decent starting point.
