I measure when I bake. When I do a new recipe I eyeball measurements. A
lot of entree recipes are for certain quantities of meat and meat does
not always come in the exact measurement that the recipe calls for.
Herbs and spices vary in taste. I might cut back on carrots if they are
too strong tasting. I am likely to add more garlic. I view recipes as
guidelines and feel free to alter them to suit my tastes. If a recipe
calls for Chard I will use spinach. If it calls for turnip i omit it.
