Our GOLDEN RULERead through the entire recipe before attempting it. It’ll save you a lot of confusion and provide some context!

Cut size

For cubes, we’ll provide side lengths (e.g. cubed 2 cm). For round cuts, we’ll give a radius or diameter.

Measurements

Quantities are usually given in count or volume, and we use standard/average conversions between them (e.g. 1 onion  is 1 medium onion, or about 1 c chopped onion). There are also great food conversion calculators online. We use this one because it’s easy to use and has just about every ingredient you’ll need!

When measurements are given in mass (e.g. pounds or grams), a scale is highly recommended. While less important for meats and vegetables, it just might make a difference for some desserts.

Substitutions

Unless specifically written in the recipe (e.g. vanilla extract vs. vanilla bean), substitutions are perfectly good. We may provide one in parentheses, or you can search them online.
