‘Eva needs to measure’ on Hyperfixed: Eva lives in the UK, loves to bake, and frequently tries to bake American recipes. But Americans measure by volume and everyone else measures by weight — and converting those measurements is complicated, for complicated reasons.

Some thoughts on recipes and copyright
A couple of months ago, one of my authors asked me for advice. They’d been looking through a newly released cookbook and noticed that one of the recipes in it was too close for comfort to one of their own that they’d published online in 2017.
I’m Kristin Jensen, the founder, publisher and editor at Blasta Books and Nine Bean Rows. Before I started my publishing house, I was a freelance editor and food writer for over 20 years and I’ve co-authored three books. I pretty much eat, sleep and breathe books and food.
