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

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.
