Recipes true or false.
I often wonder if those writing recipes put them down wrong on purpose because they want to keep them secret
.
I have just been testing some easy biscuit recipes for the children to make and they all need adjusting in some way from quantities to cooking times and temperatures.
One lot went in the bin.
I own just about every cookery book imaginable, all the Nigelas, Delias , Jamies which for some reason people thought would make a good christmas or birthday present but I always revert to my old Good Housekeeping book and tried and tested recipes I know work.
Recipes and cookery books should carry a note..
''Any resemblance between the finished item and the recipe is purely accidental''
