Introduction
We have also included some basic bar drink measurements and oven temperature gas mark numbers, plus a few common imperial to metric conversions used in weights and measures when cooking. Precise measurements can be vital to perfect cooking and baking success. Always use cup and spoon measures for dry and solid ingredients and a cooking measuring jug for liquid ingredients. If you wish you can print out the cooking reference charts for future use.
