Sugar

Sorry am a newbie and don't know how to even ask a question.  I was wondering if the receipes when asking for sugar - do they always mean raw sugar?

Welcome to the forum. 

Generally the sugar would be either plain white (A1) sugar or raw sugar.  I am not health conscious enough and so my recipes would be bad white sugar unless stated.  But you can substitute for other varieties.

Hi & welcome Tracey Z - ask all the questions you want, you will always get an answer.  I use raw sugar for making icing sugar and white or castor sugar for everything else.

Hi and welcome Tracey Z. You will soon get the hang of all this. I am not computer literate at all and manage to blunder my way through. I'm like Judy and Thermomixer. Use whatever suits you.

Yes I agree.  Just use whatever suits.  If you are happy using raw sugar it can be substituted in almost all recipes. I often blitz my raw sugar on speed 9 for a couple of seconds when making cakes, biscuits and slices.

Yep, whatever suits.  I often use unrefined sugar, but not always.
