5. TABLES OF COOKING TIMES
The overall suggested cooking times set out below are intended as a rough guide only. They may in fact vary according to the quality, the freshness, the size and the thickness of the food cooked and of course cooking time is also partly a matter of taste. Let the food stand for a few minutes before serving because the ingredients continue cooking after they have been removed from the oven.
