Oh man, so true. Scaling up recipes never really work out. But there are also other recipes that cannot scale down! Which is great for feeding a family. Pasta, mayo, chutney, pulled chicken breast, bacon, and loads of cheese, bake it till crispy cheese layer, and you have a dish that will blow away anyone! Cheap, easy to make, and delicious. My mother always made it and gave it for us as school lunch. I Salivated for hours thinking about the lunch haha. Keep well and happy cooking.
