Browsing through the Internet, I often find lots of yummy and interesting recipes. When I want to try it out, the biggest problem seems to be the correct measurements, volume, weight, etc. - especially when it comes to accurate amount of ingredients for a cookie dough, confronting the Imperial vs. Metric Measuring systems.
I'm sure all of us had this problem at least once, being confused with the correct proportions. Lots of websites provide us with strange measurements and charts, but I found it often very misleading (I still remember my dream-come-true banana&chocolate chip cookies ending up as Stone Pancakes...
*sob*). Anyway, I've found something which, I'm certain, will help us all in future.
