Information in this section is presented as a guide for ordering food, for adjusting recipes, and for the
planning, preparation, and serving of food. Quantities to prepare are based on 50 average-size portions, as are most of the recipes, but adjustments may need to be made to fit individual situations. Rarely is 50 the exact number to be served, and the portion size will vary according to the type of foodservice and the needs of the individuals in the group. Tables are included that will assist with these recipe adjustments.
