See? No calculus required. You didn’t need a PhD to make a perfect cup of something. You just needed a little bit of kitchen logic and a willingness to fill halfway.
Next time you see “1 cup” and only have a ⅓ cup handy, don’t sweat it. You’ve got this. You know the secret: 1.5 scoops. That’s your new superpower.
So go ahead. Bake that cake. Make that soup. Life is too short to be scared of a little fraction. And if anyone asks how you knew, just smile and say, “It’s a chef’s secret.”
