Post cups to metric

Great site - lots of variety and points of interest. Can you
help? I recently returned from visiting students on work placements in USA
and bought some well priced ( compared to UK ) Charlie Trotter books but
they are in US cups measurements. Can you suggest site of information
whereby I could get an accurate conversion of cups into metric ?

It also depends on whether you're measuring wet or dry ingredients.

Yes, true, but as long as you're comparing volume to volume, it's okay. Just don't assume that volume to weight is the same for all ingredients.
