Hi Ann, I’ve bought the template but can you tell me how I should print it so that it comes out at the right scale for the ingredient quantities you suggest please? It comes through as a pdf in A4 but that’s too small. Thanks.

  hi, just make sure that you print it at 100%. it should print over several pages, then you put them together and that’s the correct size.
