Good to know
- Weigh when you can. A scale is more accurate than cups, especially for flour, nuts and chopped herbs.
- Roll a lemon or lime on the counter and warm it briefly: it gives more juice. Zest it before you juice it.
- Onions, garlic and herbs vary a lot in size. Treat the figures as a guide and taste as you cook.
- Eggs in this guide are US large. European large eggs weigh about 63 g in the shell.
