To get the best results
Use metric measuring spoons and scales. Unless otherwise indicated, spoonfuls are level.
Oven temperatures and timings are for non fan-assisted ovens. For fan-assisted ovens, as a guide, reduce the temperature stated in the recipe by 10-20°C. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for a more accurate guide.
Always use medium free-range eggs in recipes, unless otherwise stated.
Wash hands, equipment and work surfaces after handling raw meat. Use separate boards to chop raw and cooked meats and vegetables.
Meat- and fish-free recipes
A variety of cheeses are used in these dishes, some containing rennet. To make the dishes truly vegetarian, substitute with vegetarian alternative cheeses.
