Are recipes really required for delicious dishes?

I'm always struggling with myself over this one. On the one hand I know certain dishes by heart and can make them without looking at a recipe.
The bad thing about cooking that way is that the results are not always the same.
There are times when I wonder if following a recipe would give me better tasting results.
Do you find that the same thing happens to you?
Which do you prefer; tried and true family favorites that you know by heart or following an actual recipe, step by step.
Which one gives you the better results?

the truth is, I look at the recipe to get the hole picture, and then improvise the rest. I think it tastes a lot better, but you need practise (for certain kind of meals.)
