This link to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curezone.com\/conversions.asp\">conversions chart<\/a>\u00a0 gives equivalent Celsius temperatures, gas marks, and imperial and metric measurements.<\/div>\n<div>If I have included a hard-to-find item in a recipe, I have probably also given a source or a substitute. If I have\u00a0suggested a\u00a0substitute, then I have\u00a0successfully cooked the recipe with it.<\/div>\n<div>Ingredients are straightforward. Butter is always unsalted unless otherwise stated.\u00a0Salt is pure, unadulterated;\u00a0pepper is not ground until it is time to use it.<\/div>\n<div>If you have any problems with my recipes, I beg you to let me know. I pride myself on the success of my written recipes and since this is a casual blog, I may not have been as careful here as I have been in my printed works: most often I write up these blogs the morning after I have cooked a meal. Frequently I find myself re-writing these entries\u00a0(and the worst thing is that this software doesn&#8217;t have a spell checker!!!).<\/div>\n<div>I also encourage you to use the recipes as a guideline. Sometimes\u00a0your grocer might not have the shallots called for in a recipe, but I hope that you will use common sense and substitute the whites of scallions.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notes about the recipes, with conversions for other measurements: American cooks use standard containers, the 8-ounce cup and a tablespoon that is the equivalent of 3 teaspoons. 16 level tablespoons fill a cup.
