I like your instructions. I learned from "the common sense cookery book", which practically fits in the palm of my hand, and it's actually not 'recipes' as such, just lots and lots of basic stuff. How to makewhite souce. Pancake batter. How to grease things properly. How to sift flour. Junket and jelly. Oven temperatures.

It's kind of become my reference book. "This says 'medium' steaks, how cooked is 'medium'?" *references cscb*

However my mother is one of those people that either has 2300000 recipes in their head or is terribly inventive, and so I don't really get to practice cooking a lot. When I do, we have all the ingredients (We have everything. Like 'mint essence'! It's an unopened bottle and we've had it since 1999!)

Anyway, this gave me a laugh, thanks. :)
