I always cook for myself alone which means I’m used to cooking just one portion, or 2 portions which I end up eating in one sitting anyway. I usually improvise my meals and my brain just seems hardwired to measure quantities for a single portion meal. Does anyone have any tips for scailing your cooking up to cook for groups?
Besides just doubling or quadrupling the recipe? Can’t you make 4x as much and plate 4 portions before digging in?
If you can’t improvise a larger quantity, work off a written recipe until you retrain your sense of portions.
