Recipe website

[Magpie]

This site is part of a magazine I used to get as a teenager, so though I'd share it here. The recipes are pretty simple, so I picked up a copy today for my lads to try a few things.

Now explain what a chip and a biscuit is. That site is so confusing!

Bookmarked for further study... Thanks for sharing..

What is a ...gram... There are a number of Google sites that will do conversions... It is worth making a ...cheat sheet... for common measurements.. Teaspoon, Tablespoon, and the like..

Where I had the most problem was with old WW1 and WW2 Canadian, British and other war time recipes when they would list things like a ...salt spoon... tea cup... or other odd measurement..

Gram = a little bit

In the recipe book I was just looking at “a large kitchen spoon.” Now can you please tell me how much that is?

I use Allrecipes recipes pretty often. I like their easy, simple recipes and they are all pretty good.

I bought a nice kitchen scale with a glass platform from our thrift store. The first time I used it I noticed it was an all metric scale. No way to change it to imperial weights. I still use it.

Not the little spoon, the bigger one!

What’s the recipe for, and what’s the ingredient?

I’d guess it likely means the size of the kind you stir your soup pot with.

It's a southern cookbook first published in 1932, my edition 1944. This isn't the recipe, but is from that book

I noodle around on historical recipes as a semi-hobby, so it’s always interesting to see stuff like this, and try to figure out what it’s supposed to taste like.

Potato and cookie. Get a digital kitchen scale. You can usually switch between gram/oz; ml/fluid oz and zero out the vessel you'll be measuring into.

Thanks, Magpie. I saved the link in my Recipe folder, and will check it out. When it comes to cooking, "Easy" is my middle name. The second caveat is that I have to like ALL of the ingredients. There will never be any mushrooms or disgusting vegetables in anything I make.

It is a great idea to teach your boys some basics on cooking. Prepare them for the world when they have to fend for themselves. The wife of a friend of mine didn't know how to boil water when they got married. My hand to God, that is a true story, and she readily admits it.
