Managing the metric mystery

1978

The ease of adjusting to the metric system for cooking and food shopping is stressed. It is a decimal system like our monetary and numeration systems.

Tables show useful measurement equivalents for length, area, volume, and weight, and equivalents of common capacity and weight units used in cooking. Recipes for codfish casserole and chocolate chip cookies are included.
