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.
