Recipe scaling is the process of adjusting the ingredient quantities in a recipe to make a larger or smaller batch. This is useful for cooking for different numbers of people or for meal prep. For example, if a recipe serves four but you need to serve eight, you would double the amounts of each ingredient. To scale a recipe accurately, you can use a simple ratio. Divide the desired number of servings by the original number of servings to find the scaling factor. Then, multiply each ingredient by this factor. This ensures that the flavors and textures remain consistent, regardless of the batch size.
