Thank you so much for this helpful guide! It was just what I was looking for. I am a New Yorker visiting London, and was planning to buy a few cookbooks to bring home. At first I was intimidated by the Celsius, gas mark, and gram measurements in the books. Now I realize that I can easily convert them to units I’m used to. The link to the food translations is also useful!

[...] Diana Burrell over at Hail Britannia recently wrote an interesting article on British Cookbooks that covered the differences between American Cooking and British Cooking. Pretty cool article with facts I never knew. Check out the British Cookbook Primer here. [...]

You learn something new every day. I didn’t even know that the nuts and bolts of cooking could differ that much.

Great post. I’ve been here 19 years, (and am not a good pastry cook) so I’ve printed off the Gas mark stuff. Thanks.
