Thinking about what difficulties I have when trying to follow recipes, I realised that sometimes we may need to change quantities or measure the ingredients in a different way. And every time I had to do it, I was forced to search through several websites or books to find the right way. So I started collecting notes from all these places. And now I decided to create this table to help me and you with the tasks in hand 🙂
This is only a basic conversion table of weights and measures and I know there’s a lot more that can be added to it. I will come back and update it whenever necessary. Now I need your help: tell me what would you like to add to the table and I’ll do it 🙂 Thank you
