Question:
I find that the lesson on breakfast meals teaches recipes that are quite different from those on the back of packages. In general, how useful are the recipes on the back of a box?

Answer:
I find that the lesson on breakfast meals
teaches recipes that are quite different
from those on the back of packages in general.
How useful are the recipes on the back of
a box.
Wow, that's that's an interesting question. I
got to say I probably haven't cooked anything off
the back of a box in a while. So I need
to as I'm talking to you try to
recall what that might look like. But you know,
I'm guessing overall, you know that those recipes
can be a
A Fine Place to Start yes, you
know as we you know, think about those recipes
on the on the back of a box. For example, I think they've been
vetted, you know by a chef
or a culinarian that's been
working with that product company.
So as a place to start I think it's probably pretty
good what I like to do when I
when I
want to understand a recipe whether it's on
a box or in a book or somewhere else is to make
it as it's written so that I can understand
or try to understand what the author
intended.
And then I'll take notes and then
the next time I'll make modifications that
better suit.
My context here and so, you
know, I hope that you might approach it in that way,
you know, whether it's wherever the recipe
comes from. Give it a try the way it's printed again to
understand what the intent was that
invent to go forth with your own modifications.
Make it your own to fit
the the dietary restrictions
or dietary needs or you know
other variables in your context. All
right. Thank you.
