Lazy cook for 35 years. Dumped my Dutch recipes on the internet in the Netherlands about 10 years ago. Biggest private recipe site over there (6000-25000 visitors a day) by now. Just finished translating the lot (900 recipes) in English (see http://www.jannekes.eu ) on request of lots of second generation Dutch and Frisians. Reading the answers and questions especially to see how the names of lots of ingredients Amerika and England are, so I can correct the mistakes I made in translating.... And wonder about some igredients I have never heard of before. Made the first addition: double temperatures on the site (C/F), next will be ounce/gram. Greetz from the Netherlands and have a nice day!
Can anyone explain the difference between roast(ing), broil(ing) and grill(ing)?
and what equipment you use in which case??
16 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoSollte ich diese Seite auch übersetzen ins Deutsch??
Habe 2 Seiten,
1 Niederländisch ( http://www.jannekes.nl/ )
und 1 English ( http://www.jannekes.eu/ )
Weiss aber gar nicht ob es auch Deutsche Rezepte-Liebhaber gibt.
Sollte ich diese Seite ins Deutsch übersetzen oder nicht??
Grüss aus die Niederlände
6 AnswersKochen & Rezepte1 decade agoAre you measuring in cups, ounces, grams or other ?
Would you be so kind to add the country where you live to the answer?
24 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoOunces, cups and grams. Is a cup always 8 ounce. Ingredient-table any-where?
Looking through old answers I found that 1 cup is 8 ounces.
I am calculating in grams/dl myself (Netherlands) so I tried to find a calculator that does this (for me strange) calculation to apply at my site (more than 900 recipes to convert: http://www.jannekes.eu/ ).
BUT:
A cup of sugar is heavier than a cup of flour.
Over here:
http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cookingconversions.as...
it seems that 1 cup of flour = 4.41 oz = 125 grams,
and 1 cup of sugar = 7.05 oz = 200 grams.
So what I would like to have is a table (internet or yours) where the most common ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, milk .... ) already are "precooked" from cup in grams/oz/fl oz.
- And I really want to know if it's still common in the UK to calculate in oz (or can I skip the easy adding?)
- And if all the measurement in the USA is in cups (chocolate seems hard to do)
- And what the Australians are using.
Would you add, when you answer, what country you're from?
Very gratefull in advance!
4 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoPies, tarts, cakes, pastry.... Which is which. Translating problem !?
Almost done translating my Dutch site into English. Conclusion so far: the Dutch have more different "cake" names (for as far I know).
Question: are there names for a spicy cake (baked in a rectangular baking can, lots of spices, in Dutch: kruidkoek), a flat cake (about 1 inch high, almond filling, quite "heavy", in Dutch: koek), our "cake" (the yellow slices you get served in hotels at coffee) the foamy cake (with 2-3 layers, filling in between and cream topping, in Dutch: taart). But what is "your" "tart"....... and our "appeltaart" is called apple "pie"...
I'm confussed.. You'll find the recipes over here: http://www.jannekes.eu/ under "cake and apple pie" and "pie and cake". If you see a recipe with a completely wrong name (according the ingredients) please mail ...
I would be very, very thankfull for any help !
