Hi, I love the look of your dishes although I haven’t tried any of them. I’m about to make the chocolate/yogurt loaf and hope that it turns out well. What I’d like to say is this: Can you give your recipe measurements in imperial as well as metric? Some of them start with metric and others with imperial. Consistency in the way you print your measurements would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hi Sabean Ali,
As I’ve shared quite a number of chocolate and loaf recipes, would you please let me the link? Or you may like to come to my site https://www.anncoojournal.com and check on the recipes. I’ve updated the ingredients measurements in imperial as well as metric on my blog since two years ago.
