I am so glad that I found this web site. I just happened to pick up by mistake in barnes and noble bookstore, a BBC Magazine and didn't realize it till I got home.. what great recipes but didn't know anything about the measurements to american measurements... So I went online and found this site.. now Ihave the measurements that I can make some of the great recipes in the magazine as well as what I may find on this site. Wish my mom was alive lost her in 2010. She was from England and she would of love the magazine and all the recipes. She loved the beef and kidney pie, and my favorite English Fish and Chips. I make Maid Of Honor tarts, with the recipe and tart pans that my mom brought from England when she went to vist family. looking forward to being part of this site. Will have to see if I can get another English Magazine,don't know how often it comes out. Carolyn Montervino

Please note that these US cup conversions are approximate because of the nature of the amounts - as the cup system represents a proportional way of measuring out ingredients, we recommend that you invest in a cup for best results.

Hi a query on your conversion tables ive look on a few and the measures you give are all different to the others 1 US cup = 237ml for instance. another 1 US pint = 473.176 ml. Can you explain the differences please as im confused for the recipes. Thanks

Why is Good Food's conversion of a (1) USA Cup of Flour equaling 115g differnt from Delia Smiths conversion of (1) USA Cup of Flour equaling 150g. Why the difference. Good Food and Delia are the only two US cup to UK grams I trust, yet there is a difference. With the other weights of ingredients you are in agreement. Kind regards, Mary Hardinge

Your conversion for a cup of flour is wrong and it has cost me two batches of bread dough, cheers
