   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
   
   NOTE:  NZ, CANADA, USA AND UK ALL USE 15ml TABLESPOONS.  ALL CUP AND
   SPOON MEASUREMENTS ARE LEVEL.
   
   DRY MEASURES: Metric..Imperial 15 g......1/2oz 30 g......1oz 60
   g......2oz 90 g......3oz 125g.....4oz (1/4 1b) 155g.....5oz
   185g.....6oz 220g.....7oz 250 g.....8oz (1/2 lb) 280g.....9oz
   315g.....10oz 345g.....11oz 375 g.....12oz (3/4 lb) 410g.....13oz
   440g.....14oz 470g.....15oz 500 g.....16oz (1 lb) 750g.....24oz (1
   1/2 lb) 1kg......32oz (2 lb)
   
   LIQUID MEASURE: Metric............Imperial 30ml..............1 fluid

   These equivalents are from various books in the Australian Women’s
   Weekly series of cookbooks.
