It's to the point, for me at least, that I won't buy cookbooks if there aren't weights in the recipes. I picked up a couple of books from the library (thank goodness I didn't buy them!) to peruse and test a few recipes. Both of the authors made statements about the weight vs. volume measurement and that they wouldn't include weights. One deigned to include a weight chart for those wishing to convert the volume to weight: according to them, one cup of flour weighs the same as a cup of cocoa powder and a cup of sugar. NOT!
