Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
