I'm European but I have a set of US cups in my kitchen because most recipes are in these stupid American measurements.
Most American recipes; just look for something specific to your country.
Those recipes are gross anyway. Homemade nanna secret cake calls for a box of your favourite cake mix from the supermarket.
I found recipes for soups that list fucking tins of soups in the ingredients. Like you make soup using a can of already made soup?!
I tend to add "grams" to my searches if I'm looking for something in English.
Also tones of butter, sugar and their biscuits are soft.
Why not just convert the units?
I avoid volumetric measurement whenever I can. I've found weight based measurement to be vastly superior, especially when you have a 0.1g digital scale. It's much easier to weight 100g of water than check the line on 100ml.
