Ingredient-density cooking converter API

Convert cooking quantities between volume and weight using an ingredient DENSITY table (e.g. 1 cup flour = ~125 g, 1 cup sugar = ~200 g) and convert oven temperatures (C/F/gas mark) — the value-add being density-aware volume-to-weight conversion. Differs from util/convert-units which is generic and density-unaware. Answers 'how many grams is 1 cup of flour', 'convert 200g sugar to cups', '350F in celsius', 'gas mark for 180C'.
