Conversion


Other day I was reviewing my blog, I noticed something. While most of the ingredients are Imperial or volume measurements I have included some weights and\or metric as well.  And sometimes I do both!  Sorry to my international readers for the confusion.

I grew up in Canada and I know the metric system too well and it has become part of my daily life. Then I went to study in Rochester Institute of Technology in New York and I quickly realized that the USA uses Imperial instead of metric. Can you imagine the panic I felt knowing that I have to study with a different system? I had to start over and learn Imperial, after awhile I got used to it.

When I finish with RIT, I thought I was finished with Imperial too. Life isn’t that simple, lots of recipes from chef’s school are in Imperial measurements or both.  If you have a problem converting try this link, which can change any weight to volume.


I hope this will help make you more comfortable with my recipes and others where you need to convert.
