Cooking Hints and Substitution

Have you ever read a recipe and wanted to make but don't have a certain item .

Or the recipe is in Fahrenheit and you can't convert it ! Or it's in American measurements
I've been seeing so many recipes on here not making sense to people because of this .

So I thought why not do a cooking post adding conversions and substituting ideas.

Feel free to ask any cooking question
