Dear Brenton,

Thanks for this information. Do you know if the tbsp and dsp that you
mention are of a standard size or are they just what you have in your
cutlery drawer?

When you say:

> US standard 1 cup = 3/4 cup, 2 tbsp and 1 dsp in Australia.

is the cup you mention in '3/4 cup' a USA standard cup; and is this 8�fluid
ounces (USA)?

Thanks again.

Cheers,
