I love the internet as a source of recipes, but when they give ingredients US-style it drives me nuts. I think the one currently in the oven will be fine with approximate amounts which is good because it called for a pint of cherry tomatoes and a quarter of a cup chopped onion.
Not wanting to disrespect lovely US Mumsnetters, but seriously, kitchen scales are an amazing invention!

Have to agree OP. Who measures by cups FFS!

Volume over weight is a weird thing to get used to. I can manage some (cups etc) but others I give up and guess.
