Sorry but grams is a unit of weight. Cups and tablespoons are units of volume. You can't convert weight, or mass, to volume unless you know the density of the solution (specific gravity for engineers and scientists).

Sounds like you have a professional cook book. Professionals use units of weight to measure out ingredients, not volume. For us amateurs it's easier to measure out in a cup rather than weigh something on a balance.
