Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
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.
