Measurement Conversions
While these recipes were written or adapted for use with standard
(non-metric, Imperial, American) measurements, many people accessing
these recipes are not based in the United States (which refuses to
go to the metric system), Canada (which, though officially metric,
still understands the Imperial system), or Britain (ditto).
Therefore this information has been provided in an attempt to help
metric system users convert into measurements that have more meaning
to them.
