I’m sick of having to look up what country an author is from to know which variant of teaspoon they’re using or how big their lemons are compared to mine. It’s amateur hour out there, I want those homely family recipes up to standard!
What are some good lessons from scientific documentation which should be encouraged in cooking recipes? What are some issues with recipes you’ve seen which have tripped you up?
Not a scientist, but an easy improvement would be to use weight instead of volume for most measurements. “A cup of flour” can vary greatly depending on how compressed/dense it is.
