It's because TV chefs don't measure anything, they go by experience and they usually get it right.
However they have to give you some measures because between what you think is a good amount of sugar and what he had in mind there might be a tremendous difference.
- vidanay 6y agoDon't get me started on their "pinch of salt" that is more salt than I use in a week of cooking.
- taeric 6y agoYou should use more salt. :)
- vidanay 6y agoNot according to my cardiologist :-/
- taeric 6y ago:( I thought the modern take was that salt was over vilified. That said, I do not recommend ignoring a doctor. Best of luck keeping your health under control!
- vidanay 6y agoTY! Salt for an average person most likely is over exaggerated. But once you already have hypertension, you need to watch it.
- jmnicolas 6y agoI'm not a cardiologist but I've read somewhere that when you have hypertension it usually isn't salt the problem but a lack of potassium (sodium and potassium have to be in balance in your body, can't remember the ratio). The recommended thing was to eat a lot greens (particularly big salads) to have loads of potassium (not recommended in pills, might be dangerous). YMMV, don't sue me etc ;)
