Number of Servings

These are given with the proviso that how many people a dish serves depends on the appetite of the eaters and what else gets offered at the same time. Two enthusiastic people can demolish a pound of cashews in five minutes or less; at other times, one has leftovers after eight people have helped themselves. The same is true with Mother’s “Italian” Eggs. Some things beget wild greed. Plan accordingly. As a Parsi, I tend to overprovide.
