Kitchen Math & Measuring: How It All Adds Up

This fast-paced, informative program from the In the Kitchen series may be aimed at beginning or younger chefs, but any cook will benefit from its thorough explanation of kitchen-related math. Four main topics are covered: measuring liquid and dry ingredients, heat measurement, multiplication and division for recipes, and U.S./metric equivalents. The editing and camerawork (including lots of close-ups) are terrific, while the clear and plentiful onscreen graphics are excellent, with helpful banners highlighting definitions and tips. But the thorough, hands-on approach to the content is what really makes this production stand out, with kitchen tools, recipes, and techniques clearly explained and demonstrated along the way. The other titles in the series are Knife Knowledge 101, Kitchen Tools & Utensils, Microwave Mysteries, Food Preparation Techniques, and Cooking Techniques. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (E.
