Scaled to however many of you there are.
Change the headcount and the amounts follow. Salt and spice do not scale in a straight line, and we account for that.
A recipe is how you make a thing: the amounts, the order, the timing and where it goes wrong. The dish pages explain what that thing is — where it comes from, the mechanism behind it, and why skipping one step makes it something else. One stays open in the kitchen; the other is read when you wonder.

Albanian liver
Liver must not meet salt before the pan, and must meet flour a minute before it. Two rules, two minutes.
Fried anchovies
Cornmeal is not flour: its coarse grains fry into a glassy crust, and the anchovy steams inside it.
Fish sandwich
Mackerel is an oily fish, and the whole recipe is about balancing that fat: onion, sumac, lemon.
Fried squid
Squid has two cooking times and nothing between them: under two minutes or over thirty.
Garlic-sautéed broccoli
The broccoli is blanched two minutes and dropped into iced water. That shock locks the green in, and the sauté cannot take it back out.
