PLEASE, go to Asda and buy a set of measuring cups (NOT A GLASS PYREX MEASUREING CUP - that would be for liquid measuring), and measuring spoons.
The cups are 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup. Sometimes they throw in the 2/3 and 3/4 cup measures too. The spoons are 1/4 teaspoon (tsp), 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 Tablespoon (TBSP [which equals 3 tsp]). When a recipe requires things in cups or tsp/TBSP, viola you will have them to measure with.
A stick of butter equals 1/2 cup of butter.
Don't try and do both metric and US measures in the same recipe (i.e. 1/2 cup butter + 15 ml oil) - stick to one or the other.
Good luck!

1 stick of butter = 100g, 1 cup = approx 250ml.
If you need to measure dry ingredients like flour, sugar etc, then just use a pyrex measuring jug to get the correct amount by volume, rather than weight, converting cups to ml in the above proportion.

Beware!
If you buy English measuring cups they will be English sized teaspoons, tablespoons, etc. These are 25% bigger than the American equivalent.

the best way i know how to convert is to buy a scale. Seriously! if your going to cook in Grams and Kilos then buy a good digital scale and weight the ingredients.
