So when a recipe says a cup of bread pieces does that mean a level cup, heaped cup or slightly pressed down? same thing for mini marshmellow?

I am thinking I should just have my sister bring me over a couple english cook books. I am too much of a perfectionist to use cup measurments.

Google for a weight conversion table.

Remember, that cup weight in dry foods is different from cup weight in liquids.
