thanks Eddie51, the trouble is that like most recipes the quantities are given in vague things like 'cups

Cups are not vague things they are specific measures... you can get a set of plastic measuring cups (1 cup, 1/2 cup 1/3 cup etc) from most cookshops and the measure is for the item not pressed down and level with the top of the cup

If that's the only problem, try this for conversion.

I don't think the exact quantity of salt is critical anyway.
