What's the problem 🤔
I imported a recipe from https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/best-pizza-dough/.
I had it set to display ingredients in metric, because 90% of the world uses metric. Yet it was imported in US units. OK, I understand you're using a python library and it probably is only working in US.
But every recipe manager I've ever used (and of course I can't even import the recipes from the one I use now), allows me to convert from US<-->Metric. I mean, I don't even know how many tsps there are in a tbsp, but I do know how many times 5g goes into 15g.

The problem is that the website uses US units primarily, and selecting metric converts it only in your browser. The embedded recipe information remains US. When importing the recipe, KitchenOwl looks only at the embedded information. For example, if you scrape a recipe from a page that uses metric units, the imported recipe will be metric too.
But I agree that there should be a way to automatically convert a recipe between the systems.
