 * Hi,
    is it possible to add some custom units for ingredients which are later 
   recognized automatically? In German we often use EL as an abbreviation for Esslöffel(
   table spoon) and now this is sorted into the ingredient-column, rather than into
   the unit-column. Best regards Henner

 * What do you mean by “sorted into the ingredient-column”?
 * You can define your own unit aliases on the Recipes > Settings > Unit Conversion
   > Unit Aliases page. But if you’re not using the unit conversion feature in the
   Premium version there should be no need.

 * Hi Brecht,
    thank’s a lot! That was exactly the information I was looking for
   🙂 Henner
