SC - Recipe databases

[Alderton, Philippa]

Meliora, my suggestion would be to weigh as accurately as possible the
ingredients and use their masses in the database, rather than trying to
screw with volumes of dry ingredients. We need to start thinking that way
anyway.

One of the big threads recently was that you couldn't just multiply
measurements to increase servings, and that's true if you're multiplying dry
volume, but I think it would work a lot better if we were multiplying mass-
much more accurate.

That way, all we'd have to do is convert from ml to fluid oz and g to Wt oz.

Any one else care to speak? Careful, we don't want a horse by committee, ie
a camel.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
