  1. Recipe Information

  2. How to follow a recipe: Before you start, read the recipe from start to finish so there are no surprises. Preheat the oven to the correct temperature, so that it is ready when you need it. Before actually starting to cook or bake, gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment. Prepare the ingredients according to the directions in the ingredients list. For determining doneness, always rely first on the recipe’s sensory descriptor, such as “cook until golden brown”. Consider any times given in a recipe merely as a guide for when to start checking doneness.

  3. Ingredients – unless otherwise noted, assume that: Butter is always unsalted Eggs are large (about 60ml – 2oz) Flour is unbleached all-purpose (don’t sift unless directed to) Sugar is white granulated (table sugar) Fresh herbs, greens and lettuces are washed and dried Garlic, onions and fresh ginger are peeled

  4. Watch those modifiers! A recipe ingredient list contains words such as “diced” and “chopped” that tell you how to prepare each ingredient for the recipe, but what you may not realize is that the placement of these “preparation modifiers” in the ingredient line is as important as the modifier itself. For example: 1 cup rice, cooked 1 cup cooked rice
