Serving Size and Scaling

398.5 Lesson 05 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

We now move from the instruction to the notes, and the first note a reader looks for is how many people the recipe serves. The guide is clear that this is no small matter: all recipes are written for a certain amount of food to serve a certain number of people, and understanding how many to serve — along with how to increase or decrease that amount without spoiling the ratio of ingredients — are two of the most valuable skills any cook can have. Get the number right and a reader can plan; get scaling right and they can cook your dish for two or for twelve.
