Dear Jamie and Devorah,
Jamie, as a braille reader, I like your method of writing the whole number,
then a space and then the fraction using a slash mark. I also agree with
another poster who suggested that you use the abbreviations as they appear in
the print recipe. A cook is intuitive enough to know c will be cup and lb or oz
will be pound and ounce. The Capital T for tablespoon and small t for teaspoon
are also easily understood as are any other abbreviations in the recipes.
I have a cookbook of Hostess Twinkie recipes and another of Oreo cookie
recipes. Anyone want to scan them!
Evan says the Twinkie cookbook is designed for post nuclear survival.
I say I have an indiscriminant sweet tooth!
Always with love,
Lissi

What I have done when the recipe calls for say 3 1/2 cups is to make the
three, then a space then the 1/2. I am sighted and thus not eligible for
Bookshare books, but I have done quite a few cookbooks and no one has said to
do differently than that.
I would be interested in the opinions of users on this too.
