How to Read the Recipes

or:
Idea for an Entry I Just Had After Rambling on in My Spaghetti and Meatballs Entry

Not every recipe in the cookbooks will need altering and my primary focus is on converting those that contain gluten. In those, I will also be replacing the dairy and eggs. Sometimes the conversion will be really easy, as easy as replacing bread crumbs with GF bread crumbs or finding an alternative way to thicken a sauce. Other times the conversion may be impossible (GF phyllo dough? from scratch??) which I intend to find out. Failure is always an option. At least initially...

In addition to finding replacements for the problem ingredients, I will at times alter the recipe based on my own whims, which I'll let you in on. The recipe as written is how I've prepared it and measurements/notes from the original recipe will be included parenthetically after my measurement.

Abbreviations:
tsp - teaspoon
tbl - tablespoon
C - cup
# - pound(s)
oz - ounce(s)
sm - small
med - medium
lg - large
GF - gluten-free
DF - dairy-free
EF - egg-free

And now onto the recipes!
