How much is 1 cup?
I really hate having to ask, but how much is 1 cup?
Since I live in Sweden I'm not familiar with that term, here we just use deciliter..
And while I'm at it I might as well ask about another thing.. Tb=tablespoon and tsp=teaspoon, right?

A U. S. cup = 8 fluid ounces which = 236.59 milliliters or 2.37 deciliters.
You can go to Google and type in information for any conversion. I did: How many milliliters in 8 fluid ounces and got the answer.

PoG,
no problem - you don't have to find everything, you just have to know where to ask ;o)

A lot of the cookbooks in my collection are British or European. In Canada we are "multilingual" when it comes to measurements so I do okay.

POG,,,,,,,,,,,,if you know any Americans have them bring you a measuring cup that has both the metric system on one side and the American on the other..........I've had to bring several measuring cups to the Kazakhs here..........

PiecesOfGlass - for future reference, since you live in Sweden and you're working on a cookbook, or a school project, or a cookbook for a school project - not sure which it is ...
OnlineConversion.com can probably answer all of your cooking related conversion questions. Between the Volume and Weight and Cooking sections - I've never found anything that I couldn't convert. Hope this helps.

just hang in there...........you can fill up a coffee cup like my grandmother did and that will do.......she didn't measure a ml of anything much less a decaliter..........and it still tasted fine.........just wished that I had the moxy and confidence.........she always had a spoon and taste-tested as she went along..........I guess we're slaves to recipes..........I am..........
