My Dad. I kid you not. If the recipe says "15ml of XXX" he'll take a
measuring spoon and use exactly that amount. Drives me nuts, but hey,
his food always tastes good (except his 'special cabbage', of course -
blech, gag, etc.)

And another thing... how big is a 'large onion' or a 'medium potato' -
or a 'handful of olives'? IMWTK.

IMHO? No. That's following the recipe <g>
