I agree, but some of my favourite cookbooks are American. What can you do?

Convert to F and also buy measuring cups/spoons and glare angrily from the recipe to my trusty scale, which stands unused in the corner, I guess.

Measuring by weight is the one cooking-related hill that I will die on.

(Recently, I had a recipe ask for four cups of lettuce, which could've been anything from 0.5x to 4x of what I finally went with, depending on how much I packed the cups. It's lunacy)

I've been waiting for canned lettuce, because I never have fresh when I need it, and plus they can eat it on the moon.

If there's anything specific I learned about cooking, it's that there is no specificity. Give up that fight and find another hill to die on, for your sake.
