  5. Excellent recipes from the author. I know it's child's play for most people but it would help men like myself to be told things like:

    1. How much is a cup? 200ml-300ml-500ml?

    2. How much approx quantity does this recipe make? Is it 500ml, 800ml, 1 litre etc.

    It would be great if the author could keep this in mind for the future.
