Baking and Books discussion

I just got another book that has recipes from the UK. Retro Cakes and Cookies. Wendy Sweetser

I noticed that she equates on large UK egg with an extra large one from the US.

If this is actually true across the board it's another thing to keep in mind when translating recipes.

Oh, I didn't know that! Is there a weight measurement to check? It might explain why some of my US recipes turn out a bit strangely, given that I have a habit of not checking whether I've picked up large or medium eggs!

This website has interesting information on US eggs
