I have no idea about grams or ounces, sorry, however I would suggest going to foodnetwork!.com or amazon!.com or cooking!.com and seeing if you can get a set of measuring cups from the US sent over!. All of them are either in cups, tablespoons, or teaspoons!. But if you are daring, try this: use your hand!. Teaspoon would be 2 pinches of whatever it is, Tablespoon would be size of a quarter in your palm, half cup takes up your palm but flat amount, 1 cup is heaping palm!. If that makes sense I hope it is helpful, if not, I'd suggest trying to get a set of spoons!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I can help you out a little!.

I agree with "Raine S"!. GourmetSleuth is your best bet!. However, do not get weight ounces confused with fluid ounces (like one person who answered this question)!.
Here is a helpful hint when trying to dealing with volume/weight in recipes:
"Volume", "weight", "temperature" and sometimes "length" are the only ways to measure things in recipes!. Volume and weight are not interchangeable!. Trying to convert from cups to grams would be the same a trying to convert from inches to pounds; it just won't work!.
This is because every ingredient has a different density!. For example, a cup of lead pellets and a cup of feathers both occupy 8 ounces of volume (1 cup=8 fluid ounces)!. However, neither one will WEIGH 8 ounces!. This is confusing to a lot of people because the idiots who invented the English System gave the same unit name (ounces) to both volume and weight!. They are not the same!
Some cookbooks have lists of how much a cup of some ingredient weighs!. GourmetSleuth's program works the same way!. These are not really conversions; they are approximations base on the AVERAGE weight of a given volume of ingredient!. They are not very accurate because weight varies with density and temperature!. For example, a cup of flour will sometimes weigh more in the winter due to humidity!. A pint of water will vary in weight depending on the temperature of the water!.
Some people also get the term "dry measure" confused with weight!. They mistakenly believe that by using a dry measuring cup, it would be equivalent to ounces on a scale!. This is not true!. The only difference between a liquid measuring cup and a dry measure is that a liquid measure has a spout on it!. A dry measure is flat on top so that it can be leveled!. They both measure the same volume!.
Another rule to remember is that "oz" usually refers to weight ounces and you need to use a scale!. "Fl!. oz" refers to liquid measurement and you need to use a measuring cup!. Recipe authors are SUPPOSED to follow this rule!.
The program on gourmet sleuth is usually OK for home baking because of the small sized recipes!. It wouldn't work on large scale recipes!. Professional bakers weigh everything out, including water!. This is a much more accurate method for measuring ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
