I’ve gone from cooking for five people to cooking for two, and let me tell you, it is hard to adjust the amount you’re cooking to get the right portion size. It took me month to figure out that instead of a whole box of pasta I only needed about a third of it for two of us. Mind you, I didn’t keep cooking a whole box; I went down gradually till I got the right amount.
I would have loved to have this site to take the guess work, the trial and error, and agony out of that process.
You start by picking what you’re cooking from the categories they’ve provided, select from the list, unless you’re actually cooking one of their popular ingredients. Next, you’ll select how many people you’re cooking for. It will then calculate how much you need to cook and display the answer with the best way to measure it.
Once you’ve set the amount of people you are serving, you can just change food items from the list at the bottom to plan your whole meal. So you could start by having it measure how much pasta you’ll need, and then you can choose from the list and see how many strawberries you need for desert. This will make meal planning much easier – especially if you’re cooking for a dinner party where you will serve more people than you’re used serving.
This is a great site that will help you cook the perfect portion every time. This site is great for meal planning, dieting, and your everyday cooking.
