Isn't about time we stopped using terms like "Tablespoon" when measuring quantities in recipes? There are several aspects to this: First, not all tablespoons are created equal. A British, Australian or US tablespoon are different sizes; Second, what is meant by "a tablespoon"?: scant, level, rounded, heaped will each significantly affect the recipe; Third, modern kichen scales, especially digital ones are now accurate to at least +/- 1 gramme (sorry, Gram for the pagans in USA) and would really help to standardis(z)e recipes. There are now dozens if not scores of recipe channels on media such as Youtube and I have attempted several recipes using the measurements contained therein and in some cases, have had disastrous results.
