I was also confused, but about an apparent gripe against cooking in sequential order. To be fair, tbsp is universally acceptable, but the apparent apparent ignorance of metric measures among US-centric authors is ludicrous.

To continue this off-topic rant, recipes have been receiving a lot of attention lately, and the medium is well overdue an overhaul to cut down on the fluff. A comprehensive wiki, with cooking markup (eg. Cooklang) would be amazing and would fill a long-overdue gap that hasn’t been filled since Larousse Gastronomic was released. The idea that recipes are ‘owned’ by someone who happened to publish it first is crazy, but could nonetheless be addressed with an attribution license (eg. the new MIT-0?)
