French Recipes in Cups: Classic Bakes, Converted

By Mangez Moi · Updated October 9, 2026 · Sources

Each recipe here gives the traditional French formula in grams next to US cups, spoons and °F, worked out with the Mangez Moi converter rather than rounded by hand. Every recipe card scales from ½× to 2×, adjusts to your pan, prints on one page and shares with a link.

How these recipes are made

  • The quantities are the traditional French formula, checked against at least two named sources listed on each page; the method is in our own words.
  • US measures come from one data file (King Arthur Baking weights per cup), so the same ingredient never shows two different conversions on two pages.
  • Each page says plainly whether we have baked it: Converted from the traditional French recipe; not yet kitchen-tested by Mangez Moi. When we bake one, the line changes to the tester’s name and date.

Coming next

Questions people ask

Are these recipes kitchen-tested?

Not yet. They are converted from the traditional French recipes and cross-checked against named sources; each page will name the tester and date once we bake it.

Why do French recipes use grams?

French home baking is written by weight and kitchen scales are standard there. See grams to cups for the conversions behind these pages.

Can I convert my own French recipe?

Yes. Paste it into the French recipe converter and it converts every line, then gives you a link to share.
