    I am making my daughter a handmade cookbook as a wedding present. I was wondering if you have pdf or download links to all of your above listed lists??

    They would be perfect in her book.

    Hi! I was just scrolling through and noticed on one of the charts it says 15 tsp is half of 1 tablespoon…..that’s wrong. 3 tsp equal 1 tbls! Maybe you’ve already caught this mistake but if not it would be helpful to let people know so they don’t accidentally add too much of an ingredient!😊

    • Sylvia Wu 03/02/2019 Reply

      Hi Brittany,

      Yikes, that would be a lot! It’s kinda hard to tell, but there’s actually a decimal so it says 1.5 teaspoons equals 1 tablespoon. Glad you pointed it out in case someone misses that. Thanks for stopping by!

      It appears as though it says 15 tsp. If you look a little closer it says 1.5 or 1 1/2 tsp.
