I was given a book on Russian Cuisine and many of the recipes call for a dint of salt or other dry ingredient... can anyone give me some guidance on what this might be in US measuring spoon quantity? The only thing I was able to find by Googling creatively was one reference to an amount "on the tip of a knife", but that is not terrribly precise either :blink: Any direction would be enlightening!
