Following a Greek Recipe in the Canadian System

[mj_toronto8]

As a Canadian, I typically use the Imperial system but I am comfortable with the metric system.

Following recipes is tricky though and there are, I am sure, some nuances.

I have a bunch of recipes translated into English from Greek and this is a huge project. They are family recipes.

Should I keep it in the metric or should I bother changing it to the typical Canadian method?

Personally, I would learn enough Greek to follow the recipe in the Greek language. Then, I would make sure I had my kitchen equipped for the metric system. There really is no comparison - it is much better to get into the mindset of a Greek cook, and for that, one needs to use the same recipe system that Greeks do. I do this in Greek and some of the other languages I know, like German and Spanish.
