If you've ever wanted to double the recipe for a batch of cookies or calculate how much it will cost to make a fancy holiday casserole, basic math skills are indispensable. In this program, chef Dave Christopherson explains practical applications of math that are often used at the grocery store and in the kitchen. Math concepts that relate to cooking are presented in short video segments, and include reading a recipe, measuring, kitchen equivalents, timing a meal, estimating amounts and recipe costs, unit pricing, converting recipes, and English-to-metric conversion.
