Great list, CQ. One thing I run into is converting fresh herb measurements to dried. I don't have a formula, I just make my best guess. Or using dried oregano instead of ground oregano. That sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteGood conversation idea. I'll be interested in what others have to say. Thanks!

1 tablespoon fresh equals 1 tsp of dried with herbs.
DeleteThanks, Chef!
