I have been honored to have so many of you make my recipes all the way from your overseas kitchens! First of all, I would like to say thank you, I just LOVE IT!! To make it a little easier on you, I have added this new feature where you will find a growing list of my recipes converted to the metric system.
To that end, let me introduce you to Culinary Nutrition Consultant Linn Steward (RDN), founder of Gourmet Metrics LLC featured on Food 52. Linn has generously offered to share her expertise and turn my measurements from cups and spoons to grams and liters. I am so excited about that, as it opens up my recipes to a whole new world, quite literally!
Linn is not only a professional in the field of nutrition but also a passionate foodie who has done her homework in the kitchen for over 20 years. So, when you see her metric conversions here, you can be sure that she has made every single one of those recipes and has made them work in her own kitchen, so you can trust her!
All the original recipes that have been converted to the metric system, will be marked with the little blue scale icon at the bottom of the page.
Click on it, and it will bring you right to this page with the metric measurements that you need.
Just scroll down to find the recipe you want. The ingredients will be listed right below the photo of the recipe that you are interested in. If you want to refer back to the original instructions, just click on the photo. Ready?
