Recipes are teachings of a different kind. Like traditions, often recipes are passed down from generation to generation; from grandmother, to mother, to daughter.
I personally tested and cooked/baked all that you will find on my website.
The instructions here, are also from all sorts of areas. You may find a unique one out of my cookbook or an instruction for soap-making, or medicinal teas, etcetera.
Sometimes, it is not necessary that you follow the manual to the dot. Other times, however, the attention to the detail is quite important – for example, the lye-ratio when you make soap.
I find that I can be quite liberal and adjust to personal preference when it comes to cooking recipes. Baking – not so much. And “How-to” recipes of homemade stuff – even less.
This category will also talk about spices and herbs though and how you can use them in the kitchen.
