Anytime you need to either expand or recude a recipe, you'll be using math in the kitchen.

E.g., An original recipe lists these ingredients:

2/3 cup sugar

1 tsp oregano

1/4 cup milk

3 cloves garlic

Serves 2

Let's say you need to serve 8 people this dish. Using proportions, you'll need to multiply this recipe by 8/2 = 4 times.

Using a matrix

4 x [ 2/3 +1 +1/4+ 3 ]

= 8/3+ 4+ 4/4 +12

= 2&2/3+ 4 +1+ 12

So now you know the new levels of each ingredient:

2-2/3 cups sugar

4 tsp oregano

1 cup milk

12 cloves garlic
