An example:
I don't need to know what SI is..your civil engineering isn't needed in weighing out ingredients....but if it impresses your wife...then fine by me....it certainly doesn't impress me.......I measure in grams and kg...yes SI is the same,as you say...but most recipe are printed in grams....I don't need to measure /weigh,my flour in litre,then convert it into grams...what a waste of time.
Why would I need to know what SI is....?...I was taught imperial at school....then I went on and used grams and kg...measuring ingredients in cookery,is.
Easy peasy......a child can do it.
I don't even need to see how much my ingredients weigh,when I buy from the shops..just by feeling the weight,I can tell if I have enough...that is what comes from cooking for yrs....the only time I check weight,is on the scales,following a recipe,when I bake cakes,pastries ..even then...not always....never weigh short crust pastry...
Why don't you tell me what "you" can cook from scratch.....not your wife,.........just you?
As you were such an excellent engineer......you must be a great cook?......

Don't you understand that?
And yes, I am civil and an engineer. But I am not a civil engineer. Power electronics is my field.

Re: From scratch
I just love cooking. I still cook too much, it’s hard to cook for one when you’ve always cooked for seven, plus my children’s friends.I cook all my meals from scratch. I love making cakes too. Recently, l made this almond and cherry cake, it was so, so nice.

cherry and almond is one of my favourites 
I make cherry and almond buns for the children, they can handle them better than slices of cake .

It seems you don't understand how to cook.
I'm still waiting for an answer..about cooking from scratch.
It looks like you don't,...your wife does it all...you just convert the measurement for her...
