The reason for accurate measurements in baking and cooking is that recipes are created with specific amounts of Ingredients for specific reasons.
Firstly, baking and cooking involves the magic of specific amounts of many ingredients working together to produce a deliciously healthy homemade product. e.g. cookies, cakes or a delicious beef stew or the dough for a vegetarian pizza.
Secondly, recipes create specific flavors and tastes for our pallets by combining ingredients in specific proportions. Change one amount of one ingredient and the flavor is changed.
