Recipe conversion basics

I'd always lack of faith (I'm getting better and better already :P) when preparing the ingredients for the food recipe. I'd need a cup to grams conversion at times to make sure my ingredients are at correct measurement. Whatever it is, I'd found one link online and it's pretty useful to newbies. Hence I'm sharing here with all of you.

By the way, it'll keep you handy when you have one those food measurement machine at home.
