Uk/us Food Translation Site

[sherrardk]

I use Pinterest quite a lot and most of the recipes refer to American products, measurements, etc. Does anyone know of a one-stop 'translation' site (I could google each individual item but having them all in one place would be more convenient). Thanks.

Thank you, I will bookmark those.

These recipes are getting on my wick, especially the ones for cakes, they always seem to use cake mixes. I like the measurements a lot, I've got a set of cup measurements and it's so much easier than getting the scales out.

That's annoying me too. Don't stand a chance of getting some of the ingredients around here and I am it paying over the odds on the Internet (but it is addictive).

rocky - are you a huge cake baker? Do you use cake boards?

[rockyracoon]

No DT, I've just started making cakes and biscuits, I just get pee'd off with a lot of American recipes which seem to use cakes mixes and Cool Whip, then you get dinners recipes that use TaterTots!
