I know a few people have mentioned these but does anyone have a recipe with measurements in grammes not cups?

I haven't got gramme recipes but did buy a cheap set of plastic cups so I could use the american measurements.
Just found these conversions that may help if you have a recipe in cup measurements...
Dry Measures
1 cup = 16 Tbsp = 48 tsp = 250ml
¾ cup = 12 Tbsp = 36 tsp = 175ml
⅔ cup= 10 ⅔ Tbsp = 32 tsp = 150ml
½ cup = 8 Tbsp = 24 tsp = 125ml
⅔ cup = 5 ⅔ Tbsp = 16 tsp = 75ml
¼ cup = 4 Tbsp = 12 tsp = 50ml
⅔ cup = 2 Tbsp = 6 tsp = 30ml
1 Tbsp = 3 tsp = 15ml
Dash or Pinch or Speck = less than ⅔ tsp
Found this on http://www.kitchenaria.com/conversion-charts/info_7.html.:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -

Hi,
I've just come across this site that is selling socks in a jar.
Thought it might be of use to someone to use in a hamper.
