Click here for one of the best cup conversion guides I have seen. (opens in new tab/window).

Please note that where metric, imperial and cup measurements are given for recipes, follow one set of measures only as they are not interchangeable.

All spoon and cup measurements are level unless otherwise indicated.

Please use medium eggs unless stated otherwise. And PLEASE try to use free range.

Where cooking temperatures of ovens are stated, please remember to reduce the cooking times or temperatures when fan assisted ovens are used. Usually a reduction of 20F will suffice.

If a recipe refers to a sachet of yeast, then remember that 1 sachet usually equates to around 2 level teaspoons. Most sachets of yeast weigh around 7g.
