Portions per person

Where these portions come from

They are the «cookbook» portions used in Italian cooking, in line with standard nutritional guideline servings (e.g. 80 g of pasta). The per-person amount is editable: if your guests are hearty eaters, raise it.

The children trick

In the count a child is worth half an adult portion: for a dinner with 4 adults and 2 children, calculate 5 portions. For hungry teenagers, count full portions!
