Many thanks Dave. Just what I wanted. It's the first time that I have
had this gram problem and so far I have got by without getting a digital
scales. I can now make my stew http://tinyurl.com/2aemcg as per the
instructions.

I use a chart developed by an accomplished expat cook here. Knowing that
the humidity on different days would affect the weights, she weighed the
same items day after day and averaged the weights.

00 flour, our fine flour, is 130 g per cup.
0 flour, an ordinary grind, is 128 g per cup.

I doubt that real accuracy is necessary for a stew as it might be for
baking.
