Notes for the Reader

This book uses standard kitchen measuring spoons and cups, and all spoon and cup measurements are level unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise stated, milk is assumed to be whole, eggs are large, individual fruit and vegetables are medium, and pepper is freshly ground black pepper.

The times given are only an approximate guide. Preparation times differ according to the techniques used by different people and the cooking times may also vary from those given. Optional ingredients, variations, or serving suggestions have not been included in the calculations.

Recipes using raw or very lightly cooked eggs should be avoided by infants, the elderly, pregnant women, convalescents, and anyone whose health is compromised by a chronic illness. Pregnant and breast-feeding women are advised to avoid eating peanuts and peanut products. People with nut allergies should be aware that some of the prepared ingredients used in the recipes in this book may contain nuts. Always check the packaging before use.

The publisher has been careful to select ingredients for the recipes used in this book that will not cause a problem for anyone who is sensitive to wheat, gluten, or dairy. However, always read labels carefully and, if necessary, check with the manufacturer.

The nutritional information is given per serving and does not include the “to serve” suggestions. Readers are advised that the salt amounts shown per recipe do not take into account any salt which may be added to taste, or at the table. Any ingredients that do not contain a weight measurement are medium-size.
