 \paragraph{Make as much or as little as you like!}The recipes that follow don't give exact amounts for ingredients. Rather, the amount of each ingredient you need is described as ``parts'' meaning that you can choose what size you want for a part and then go from there. The larger a part you choose, the more you end up making. This allows you to make just a little bit to try out a recipe, or a lot if you like it and want to use it all the time. 
 
-\hspace{5mm}Here is a handy table that tells you how many of each measure you will need based on the number of parts a recipe calls for:
+\hspace{5mm}This table will tell you how many of each measure you will need based on the number of parts a recipe calls for. Just pick your part size from the top row, and then use the numbers in that column, depending on how many parts you need.
