Welcome to bite size kitchen!

At long last, the day has come. This blog is the culmination of about five years of my partner being subjected on the regular to both my cooking as well as having to listen to my unwarranted commentary on the cookbooks and food blogs I was consulting for recipes and him saying "you should start your own blog then" and me saying "well maybe I will." I'm nothing if not a person of my word, so it may have taken five years, but I have come through in the end. I'm excited to finally be here, and happy you've found your way here to join me too!

So, hello, and welcome to the blog! I'm sure no one is here to read a novel and I promise I'll post some actual recipes and content soon, but I did just want to take the first post as a moment to go over some basic things to keep in mind for when I do start getting some recipes up here.

Notes on the Recipes

Measurements

It seems a little inconvenient to me that there's no standardized measurement system for pretty much any aspect of cooking that is widely accepted universally, but it do just be like that I guess. So that we're all on the same page, here's what I use:

• 1 cup = 240mL = 8 fl oz

• 1 Tbsp = 15mL = 0.5 fl oz

• 1 tsp = 5mL

I personally also find it really tedious to continually have to tab out to Google conversions (especially if reading recipes on mobile while in the kitchen), so I'll do my best to include cup/Tbsp/tsp, mL, and g measurements in recipe posts as much as possible, as well as to list temperatures in both °F and °C.

There are also times where measurements might be more subjective. For example, I can list an ingredient of "1 medium potato / 200g potato". Your medium potato you have kicking around your house and available for use might be 220g. Is it worth the headache or waste to save or discard the extra 20g difference from what I used? Probably not. Just use your 220g potato. Chances are good it probably won't really make a super noticeable difference, and if it is something I know will, then I'll make an effort to note that directly in the recipe.

Batch/Serving Sizes

Calorie and Nutritional Estimates

Tools and Equipment

That's all I can think to mention at the moment, but if anything is ever confusing feel free to drop a comment and I'd be happy to do my best to clear things up. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll stay tuned as I get some real content up and that you'll find something here that you like!
