Dear Sludgy Mess Down Under, previously- Ms.High and dry

I hope you will consider the conversion of liquid and weight measurements while you are travelling the world satiating your sweet tooth.
Until I do a little more research, I would encourage you to convert your recipes using this handy chart.

there is a book of Yields which tells you exactly how many grams are in 8oz of flour. So I will be sending that onto you as soon as I get my hands on one.
There is a conversion calculator you can use for free on this website!
Just scroll to the bottom, and look for the chef calculator!

Until then! Stay Sweet!

Answer: Imperial to Metric and Metric to Imperial ConversionsConversions by Volume
1 teaspoon = 5 millileters (mL)
1 tablespoon = 15 mL
2 tablespoons = 1 US fluid ounce = 30 mL
1/4 cup = 2 fluid ounces = 60 mL
1/2 cup = 4 fluid ounces = 120 mL
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 235 mL
1 US pint = 16 fluid ounces = 2 cups = 470 mL
1 US quart = 4 cups = .941 Liters
1 Liter = 34 ounces, 1.06 quarts, 4.23 cups or 4 cups plus 3 1/2 tablespoons
1 millileter = .001 or 1/1000

Liters Conversions by Mass or Weight
1 ounce = 1/16 pound = 28.47 grams
1 pound = 454 grams
1 gram = .032 ounces
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
