The recipes state whether the oven should be slow, moderate, hot or very hot and give the indicative temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as a guide.

The preparation and cooking times stated against individual recipes are merely indicative and are given purely by way of guidance for meal planning. Actual timings will certainly vary from individual to individual. The time for cutting vegetables etc. is included in the preparation time but the time for soaking, freezing etc. as also the times for preparing ingredients in the form of recipes have not been included.
