To make it easy for everyone to follow my recipes, every recipe on my website now includes metric weight and measures, Imperial and American cup measurements.
Even though you don't need a conversion table for my recipes, I have included one on my website.
I do advise using electric scales to measure weight as different food has different density. You can buy really good, quite inexpensive electric scales these days.
