Recipes UK

For Recipes UK oriented, we recommend visiting UK Recipes. All the recipes published there are Recipes UK designed.  If you've ever searched the net for your favourite recipes, you will know that most of the recipes on the net are of US origin.  Not only do they use volume rather than weight a lot more often than we do here in the UK, but many of the measures, whilst sounding the same as a UK cook will be used to, are in fact not.
