Found the recipe. Will you send me some after you make it? That sounds like a lot of work!

I wonder what the poster meant by "turning", though.

...and, more than likely a few people just learned the definition of an archaic term, namely..."urning".

I wonder if burning was the intended word, rather than turning. It makes more sense.

"...Most good restaurants have a pasty chef..."

Probably from spending too much time in the kitchen.

It's either very hot in that kitchen or they have a lot of Welsh customers.

This person must mean "stir", and not be a native speaker.
I'm French, and our equivalent for "stir" is "tourner", which also translates the verb "turn". So maybe this person only "translated" from another language.
