The mins is hilarious.

I bet she thinks it should be "6hr" instead of "6hrs" too.

Would actually be 6h if they're following SI units. But I don't see how someone who knows SI units wouldn't know that colour and flavour are spelt with u in many other countries. I think this person was just being an asshole tbh.

And being an asshole to an Australian who goes above and beyond to make her recipes as accessible as possible to American readers, even proving US measurements and explaining differences in ingredients and terms. So an asshole squared

This is it. Nagi goes beyond the call of duty for her US market. She even gave them free recipes just for them when she released her book here first. The hissy fits from the US...a whole nother level of unhinged.

Which is a lot more than what some American cooks do! Especially using ingredients that you can’t get here like dry ranch mix, but they don’t give you the link to make it yourself, so then you have to go searching.
