Recipe Measurements...easy to figure...

A word about recipe measurements. Traditional Italian dishes are made with that all embracing term 'q.b.' or 'quanto basta' meaning 'as much as is needed'.
It is a measurement passed on from generation to generation and hard to define. But for most of us who need a little indication, consult the following conversion table.
1 lb (16oz) = 450 gr; 1/2 lb (8oz) = 225gr; 1oz = 25gr; 1kg = 2lb 3oz; 500gr = 1lb 3oz; 250gr = 9oz; 100gr = 3.5oz; 1 teaspoon = 0.33 fl oz; 1 cup = 0.5 pints (8fl oz); 1 litre = 35 fl oz;
