How does that work when the recipe calls for "cups"?

It's not a problem I've come across and, having just looked in a load
of recipe books here going back as far as the 30s, none of them use
'cups' as a measure.

Different recipe books, it seems.

"Cups" (and volumetric measures generally) are typical in American
kitchens. Perhaps you have American recipes?

1 cup = 250 ml, btw, as near as makes no difference.
