recipes with measurements by weight?

I'm looking for baking recipes where the ingredients are listed by weight instead of volume (ounces, not cups). They're common in England, but I can't find any American recipes like that. Does anybody know of some?

    Recipes in the US and Canada almost never use weight measurements. Just isn't done. I'm trying very hard to think of recipes using weight measures and the only ones I can think of might be some involving large quantities of fruit for preserves, jam, or wine making. I've been cooking for 50 years and have about 60 cookbooks. The only one of those cookbooks that uses weights for everything is a candy cookbook published in England. I have a kitchen scale, but use it so rarely that I'm not even sure where it is.

    Pens, sorry girl, we use measures by cup here, and spoons.

    No, but you can find conversion tables for anything on a little thing called the internet.

    because the ounces of something can = up to something else
