  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 250 ml. 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: 5 ml
  1 Tablespoon: 20 ml
  
  Note: NZ, Canada, USA, and UK all use 15 ml tablespoons. All cup and
  spoon measurements are level.
