Actually, one of my favorite "hybrid" recipes is about halfway between Bouillabaisse and Cioppino, known in the the family as "Fishy Soup". The other, "CapoRatto", is about halfway between Caponata and Ratatouille.
From what I’ve seen so far, you seem to be comfortable improvising in your cooking. In my opinion, that’s the sign of an experienced cook who is confident developing his or her own recipes. My mother never used a recipe book and changed each recipe based on the ingredients that were available and her own creativity just like you. 👍👍
