Need an items name link

Sorry if I'm repeat posting, i'm sure this may get posted alot.

What I'm looking for is a link or a point in the right direction for a US to UK product name list. I've recently purchased a few american cook books but i'm struggling with a few names of ingredients lol.

Thankyou in advance to whoever can sort me out

        That's a great one - I'm just adding the full link (I've read that tinyurls expire?):

          Cheers for the book look up offer if needed MMRuth, hopefully I won't need to bother you though. That list should keep me sorted for a while i think.
          Thanks to PamelaD for that link

            Not a problem - a number of us have been cooking from various Simon Hopkinson books this month on the Home Cooking board, and have been in need of some translation on occasion ourselves.

        U.S. posters often have the same issue w/ UK cookbooks! There's a great small publication called "All You Need to Know About the British Kitchen" that I use a lot, and if there are some particular items that you are unsure of, I'd be happy to check for you.

        This might help as well, though it's a pretty short lis.
