Metric/Imperial Conversion

14 Jan 11

With an international readership, I have had many requests for converting the recipes from metric to imperial and also to cup measures for those who do not have kitchen scales.  Grain Free Living now has a converter tool on each recipe page as well as the handy charts below:

For those without kitchen scales - you will notice some recipes now include cup measures, and I am putting together a weight to measure chart BUT I would encourage anyone doing regular grain free baking to invest in a good pair of kitchen scales. They save enormously on time and washing up.  Even a cheap set from the local supermarket would do.

General Recipe Notes

All recipes measurements are in METRIC. If you wish to convert to imperial please use the convertor tool supplied on each recipe page and use the same (either all metric or all imperial) for the whole recipe.

Some points for American readers on metric measurements are:

1 cup is 250ml which is slightly larger than the imperial 1 cup of an 8 oz measure.  1 tblspoon is 20 ml which again is slightly larger than the imperial tablespoon measure of 15ml.  In most recipes this should not make too much of a difference, especially if you exchange all metric for all imperial.  Cookie recipes need accuracy however so if your cookies are not turning out (either too soft or spreading too much) the problem will most likely be the measures.

Nearly all recipes are cooked in a moderate 180°C oven, which is 350 °F / Gas 4.
