Title: French to English translation help...
Post by: Sim on July 02, 2012, 12:28:22 pm: Hey everyone!

I've been missing my TM like crazy because its in storage for 2 years, BUT, I'm house sitting in france and to my luck the owner has a thermomix! So excited! The recipe book is in French so I'm translating using google but need a little help.

Does "1 gobelet 1/2 d'eau" mean 1.5 cups of water?

It translates as "1 cup half of water"

Pretty sure it does but it'd be nice to be sure before I start cooking....

I'm going to head down to the market today and see what I can find... buying food bits and pieces is so much more rewarding than tacky souvenirs!
