A tablespoon is not necessarily a tablespoon when it comes to measuring ingredients. As we share recipes with people around the world we are realizing it is necessary to specify the system of measurements used in these recipes.

British, Australian and sometimes Canadian recipes use the imperial pint, 20 fluid ounces; American and Canadian recipes use the American pint of 16 fluid ounces. The Australian tablespoon is 20mL; the British tablespoon is 17.7mL; in Canadian recipes the tablespoon is 15mL; the American tablespoon is 14.2mL.
