Thanks for purchasing our book – we hope you love it as much as we do! If there is anything at all in the book that is not clear to you, or if you have any question whatsoever about our recipes, please contact us through the website. Our book is written in Australian metric measures, where 1 tablespoon = 20 ml and 1 cup = 250 ml, which differ from the USA imperial measures. There are also some terms that differ and we have tried to find them all…if not, please let us know ASAP.
