I'm starting to post recipes from the excellent series of cookbooks put out by The Australian Women's Weekly. If you have any interest in these recipes at all, save this post. These are conversions from Ozzie to Us and British measurements.

Quick Conversion Guide:

Wherever you live in the world, you can use our recipes with the help of our easy-to-follow conversions for all your cooking needs. These conversions are approximate only. The difference between the exact and approximate conversions of liquid and dry measures amounts to only a teaspoon or two, and will not make any noticeable difference to your cooking results.

Measuring Equipment:

The difference between measuring cups internationally is minimal within 2 or 3 teaspoons difference. (For the record, 1 Australian measuring cup will hold approximately 250ml.) The most accurate way of measuring dry ingredients is to weigh them. When measuring liquids use a clear glass or plastic jug with metric markings.

1 Teaspoon: 5ml 1 Tablespoon: 20ml
