Metric Measurements
The metric thread keeps popping up from time to time. I thought I would throw it out this time because I'm noticing that some well known food bloggers are beginning to list gram weights along side cups, perhaps out of necessity because they write for the international market. But on the domestic front, King Arthur Flour also lists gram weights and volumes. Just wondering if anyone at Food 52 has ever considered letting contributors post recipes in gram weights as well as ounces or cups?

Also Australian measuring cups are not the same volume as US cups.
Southern blends like White Lilly and Gold Medal AP go to 130g/cup or 135 for bread flour.
That's a big matrix there to quantify in a recipe.
To quantify it by gram weight the special type of flour used is needed. This is why some people fail using grandma recipes from the south (where it's assumed you use soft AP gold medal, white lilly). And why some northern recipes fail using soft AP flour.
I failed many times using cup measurements making "no kneed bread" until I adjusted for our Southern blend of softer flour AP at 130g/cup.
