My dear Fiorenze, I would very much like to try some of your recipes, this one in particular, but I am afraid I simply do not know how to convert grams to American metrics. I searched the internet but it is all so confusing, nothing I tried seems to answer my question. I am hoping you may be able to steer me in some direction so I can learn more about how to make the conversions.
On another note, I tried all three of the outlets you mention trying to find Nduja and while they offer it in different ways all three outlets are in London and do not deliver here in the United States. I guess I will have to wing it as best I can. Myrtle does not appear anywhere that I looked.
Oh,, woe is me. I feel so lost. Love your blog though so will continue to subscribe.
