Measure Ingredients

Ok, time to learn about the ingredients measuring terms often used in recipes.  Some are rather common and you should already know such as 1cm=10mm, 1kg=1000g, 1L=1000ml...so I will not elaborate much about that.  If you look at the following table and know how to prepare the correct quantity of ingredients, you're pass and safe to buy a recipe book, else...don't waste money on expensive books for now.  Here's the table:-
