The Perl Food::Ratio module calculates ratios of ingredients and groups of ingredients, and allows the measurement to be recalculated based on a given weight for a given ingredient. This is probably maxiumum overkill for making cornmeal muffins, but there is a kitchen scale and a computer, so...
An example may help. Given a file containing
160 cornmeal flour dry
150 flour flour dry
11 bpowder dry
3.5 salt dry
30 sugar dry
250 milk wet
70 oil fat wet
58 egg wet
one may weigh an egg and discover that it is 55 grams, and rescale the
recipe based on that
$ foodratio cornbread | grep cornmeal
160 21.84% cornmeal flour dry
$ foodratio --mass 55 --weigh id:egg cornbread | grep cornmeal
151.7 21.84% cornmeal flour dry
and know to use 152 grams of cornmeal instead of 160.
