Lesson 3: Food Quantities/Supersizing Recipes

Introduction

In lessons 1 and 2, we chose the number of dishes and the recipes. In this lesson, I first present guidelines and rules of thumb that should be followed in order to calculate how much food to prepare. You don’t want to overspend on too much food, but you also don’t want to run out of food.

Second, I’ll discuss supersizing recipes. Logically, if you have a recipe that feeds four people, you might think all you need to do to get enough food for 40 is to multiply the recipe by 10. Unfortunately, it’s not quite that easy. The advice here should help you get the end result that you really want.
