Queen Shari, a pinch is about 1/8 teaspoon, a dab is about half that much... a small handful is - well - a small handful. But - none of the above are actually measured scientifically. Our grandmothers had an innate sense of what was the correct amount of certain ingredients to use. My mother cooks that same way, and she tells me learning to cook like that is a process of trial and error. LOTS of error. Always underestimate, because you can add more... but once added, it's not possible to take anything away.
Grandma's Recipes, nothing better in the world if you can figure out how much a dab, a pinch or a small handful is.
