Ingredient Quantity and Equivalents
How many times have you tried to prepare a
recipe only to realize that it needs to be converted because its in grams and
you only know the US system. Perhaps the oven temperature is listed in
centigrade not Fahrenheit. Do you need to add 10 milliliters of vanilla to a
cake batter? If you're math-challenged, don't worry, goodcooking.com is here
to help with a basic understanding!
