What's Cookin'?

In preparation for tonight’s cooking class, I thought I’d provide you all with some handy cooking conversion charts I came across on one of my new favorite cooking blogs: http://chasingdelicious.com/. Please note: I can say right now to anyone who chooses to delve deeper into the masterpieces found in Chasing Delicious’ recipes – they are not advertised as healthy!    

What I love is the author of this blog, Russell van Kraayenburg with his decadent recipes, is he inspires me to dive into my own inner-foodie. An inner-foodie with fantasies of one-day becoming a pastry chef, healthy pastries of course!! I LOVE baking. Always have, ever since at around 8 years old my mom let me take over the reins to make her most prized indulgence: chocolate chip cookies. Since then, I have enjoyed making many a baked good within which I like to think I am baking in a little bit of my own joy for others to savor with every bite. (Is that cheesy or what?!) J

So, enough of that cheese! Here we’re talking cooking conversions Made Simple. Check these out:

Volume is a measure of how much space it occupies.



Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter present in an object.



Anyone else having flashbacks from middle-school science class?? Simply put, the volume conversions refer to measuring liquids (oils, water, juice, etc.), while the mass-to-volume measurements refer to measuring out solids (flour, sugar, grains, etc.). Neat huh?

I, myself, have already printed out these bad-boys and stuck them on my fridge for quick access & reference. Perhaps they'll come in handy for tonight's cooking class as well!

Join us tonight at 5:30 in the GAIM break-room for a seasonally delicious meal!

Don't forget, we'll also be starting our new monthly incentive!!

Check out the details here: GLC Incentives Info. Hope to see you!

Happy eating (and baking!),
