Tools for the kitchen table

Small, practical helpers for the recipes you are keeping.

Start with what needs fixing

If a handwritten recipe needs a clean copy, use the recipe card maker to format it or print a blank card. If the measurements are difficult to follow, choose the recipe converter first to halve, double or resize the recipe, and the grams to cups converter when a recipe is written in weights and you only have cups. Going the other way, the cups to grams converter turns an American recipe into weights, and the butter converter settles sticks, tablespoons and grams. The oven converter helps when a recipe uses Fahrenheit and your oven shows Celsius.

For baking, use the pan converter when your tin has a different size. Baker's percentages and the salt calculator work best with weighed ingredients. Keep the original recipe nearby so you can compare the result before cooking; a conversion does not replace a test batch.

Once the recipe reads clearly, explore the printable recipe cards or start a family cookbook.
