But there always seemed to be a problem when I would try and replicate them. The problem was with the measurements. My mum would have “1 cup.” It actually wasn't the “1 cup” we all know to be, but it would be a Greek coffee cup. She had her own measuring system. It was either a beer glass, a mug, a teacup, or a Greek coffee cup. So then every time I would collect a recipe, I would have to ask her which cup she was referring to.
Another obstacle I had to overcome was when baking, especially bread?there was never a correct measurement. Mum would begin with 1 cup (teacup) and then her recipe would continue with “now use as much flour until you feel you have the correct texture.” Before, this would upset me, but over time I too began to bake this way. I just knew by the feel of dough or batter that I would have a great outcome or an average one.
My friends would always ask me for recipes for various feasts and celebrations throughout the year. So I thought it would be in the best interest of my kids and friends that I not only have correct measurements but also mention some of the formalities and customs of our Orthodox faith. For all formalities on Orthodox Faith, you may contact your local parish.
