[QUOTE=Purple Lady;3234019]It's free, so no biggie, but I just thought I would warn others in the US that it uses grams instead of cups so it won't work for us. Does anyone know of a way to convert from a weight based measurement to a volume based one?[/QUOTE

I use both metric and American measurements all the time.
Oh and just for kicks and grins, I went and looked at Professional Baking a college textbook and it is in pounds, ounces and grams. Weights only.
The bread recipes read like this
Water 3 lb 1400g 55%
Yeast 3 oz 90g 3.5%
Bread flour 5 lbs 8 oz 2500 g 100%
And so on and so forth.
Not the % are the ratio of flour to the rest of the ingredients.
Side note: my brother is a professional chef. Yes, he screeches because I use measuring cups and I don't weigh everything.
Also flour is heavier on humid days than on dry days. This is why most bread recipes give a range of flour. Hand kneaded not machine bread.
