This sounds incredible. Don't really see venison around here, but can get bison as well as all kinds of beef: dry aged, organic, free range, etc.

  Hi Lori, it is in grams and ml because that is the measurements we use in the UK, where I am from. It's often considered to be more accurate in cooking too but it's a personal preference. There are lots of handy conversion charts on Google you can use, I find this helpful when converting from US measurements.
  
  I think the closest thing to double cream you might use in the US is heavy whipping cream, I believe.
