Welcome to Readers Recipes









In time to come I'm sure many wonderful recipes and/or cookery related stories/poems will be submitted to the Readers Recipes Section. Some will no doubt be unique and creative, some just plain simple, easy to fix, some may be from Granny where the quantities will be a pinch here, a dash there, a sprinkling or two, to taste. All are welcome
And on the subject of Granny, I have had this ditty brought to my attention

This has always puzzled me,
Just how much is a pinch?
These recipes of yours, Grandma
Surely are no cinch.
A "snip" of this, a "dab" of that,
A "lump" of something else,
Then ladle in a "dollop"
And "stir until it melts."
I have to be a wizard
To decipher what you said,
About all these strange proportions
In the cookbook, in your head.
How much nutmeg in the doughnuts?
Grandma, you never flinch,
As you say, with twinkling eyes,
"Oh, just about a pinch."
There must be in your wise head
A measuring device,
That tells you just how much to use
Of sugar, salt and spice
