Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 But the best conversion table I know is here, this is very helpful: http://home.t-online.de/home/vsack/rfc_faq.html Pat Once again, thanks Pat, That is very useful information. It is so difficult sometimes converting recipes. For instance, there is actually a difference in size between a British and and Australian tablespoon. As I have heaps of recipes from both countries I have to be on the alert. Aslo US and UK cup sizes are different. Having a reference site will be so handy.

I wish we conformed to the rest of the world. But I'm used to the USA system, of course. I can read a US-style recipe (cups, teaspoons, tablespoons) and I have a pretty good idea how it will turn out. I'm lost reading recipes in weight: I've just no idea.

Pat> Hi Pat, Yes, It's strange isn't it. Every country seems to have their own quirks in measuring ingredients. When I was studying Dutch (a wonderful course required by the government for all those seeking permanent residence) part of our course was to prepare a group recipe book. We had 18 in the group representing 15 different countries. I did a recipe from an Australian cookbook and when I handed it in the lecturer asked me if I could 'convert' it as no-one here would understand recipes using 'cups' as a measurement system. As far as I am concerned, a 'cup' is so easy because you don't have to weigh things but when in Rome/Amsterdam do as the Romans/Dutch do isn't a bad motto I guess. See you in the kitchen!
