Ever open a cookbook and feel like you’re trying to decipher another language? Developing your cooking skills can be hard when you feel like you aren’t familiar with culinary shorthand. Luckily, it isn’t hard to learn everything you need to know to understand a recipe. As for how well the food turns out, you’re on your own!
The majority of cookbooks will have a glossary section that explains each term and abbreviation used in its pages. However, if you love searching for recipes on the Internet, you may not always have access to a list of definitions. Keep the following list handy the next time you break out your pots and pans:
- Tsp or t – teaspoon
- Tbsp or T – tablespoon
- C or c – cup
- BP – baking powder
- Fg – a few grains
- Fl – fluid
- Pkg – package
- Qt – quart
- BS – baking soda
It’s also a good idea to compile lists of cooking terms and their definitions, conversion charts, and substitution charts. The kitchen in your One 51 Place apartment in Alachua, FL, is the perfect place to whip up any type of delicious fare. Glass-top stoves, state-of-the-art appliances, and spacious pantries make these kitchens as luxurious as the rest of the apartment.
