If they're US cookbooks then you'll have to convert all the pint
measures to 0.8pint measures.

US recipes don't use pints, they use fluid oz. or cups (which
surprisingly work just as well for liquids as solids).

True, if you're in US and the butter packets have graduations on them
for tablespoons and/or cups.
