Looks like this gal is American all the way .... but obviously sophisticated 
(that is, not likely to say "Freedome fries" instead of "French fries" ;-)

I don’t normal watch these shows although my wife does but I caught an episode 
of Barefoot Contessa the other night and she was making yummy chocolate 
truffles. The measurements she gave were mostly in metric. She measured the 
chocolate on a scale in grams and fluids in ml. She sounded American but 
perhaps the shows from Canada? At one point she mentioned a measure of butter 
in grams then said that’s about one tablespoon.
