I have put together a basic conversion chart from the American Standard system to the metric system. Please be aware that this is very much an approximation, and depends on numerous other factors - how much the ingredients are packed together, how you fill your cups, the humidity in the air, etc. etc. You may also find links to numerous online calculators by searching for “cooking conversion”.

Happy cooking!
