I am beginning to doubt my knowledge here so can someone tell me am I right that a tablespoon is much bigger than a desert spoon? 30 years ago I had a set of cutlery and this had two tablespoons in it. In housecraft at school I'm sure they were bigger than desert spoons. But most youngsters seem to think if a reciepie calls for a tblsp then it means the big spoon they eat their pud with.

teaspoon = 5 ml measuring spoon
dessertspoon = 10 ml measuring spoon
tablespoon = 15 ml measuring spoon
You can still buy tablespoons. Think of dessertspoon as two teaspoons and tablespoon as 3 teaspoons.

Mine was called "Cookery" and we did learn useful things, like making cakes, and sauces and pastry and bread. I still use my school recipe for lemon curd.

Ours was called cookery too back in the sixties. Our teacher, who also taught needlework bless her, eventually had a complete nervous breakdown. It was the cookery lesson where we were asked to bring in an Angel Delight mix that sticks in my mind. Surely the beginning of the end for her.

I was told at one time that if you didn't have a tablespoon, then a 'heaped' dessert spoon was approximately the same, whereas the normal measurement of a dessert spoon is a 'level' spoonful
