I'm sick of having to look up what country an author is from to know which variant of teaspoon they're using or how big their lemons are compared to mine. It's amateur hour out there, I want those homely family recipes up to standard!

What are some good lessons from scientific documentation which should be encouraged in cooking recipes? What are some issues with recipes you've seen which have tripped you up?

I don't

Crack open 11% alcohol IPA that taste like battery acid
Start cooking
When in doubt, pour the IPA into the meal

Perfect meal everytime
