I'd like to see a way to reduce the number of portions and have Spark figure out the ingredients accordingly. For example, if I don't need 6 servings of something, but want 2 instead...we could enter that in and it would reduce all the ingredients.
Yes, I know I can do this myself....but this is the place for suggestions to make improvements, right?

I understand. *sigh* :o)
Thanks for the tip on the conversion calculator. I didn't know that was there. I think that will help quite a bit, actually.

Hi, B
That would be a helpful bit of info, but unfortunately, unless it comes with the recipe, we don't have any way of figuring it out either, except to make the recipe and measure it out--and we don't have the resources to do that. Sometimes, it's pretty easy to guess (if there are one or two main ingredients and the rest are seasonings, for example), and you can use the conversion calculator in the Nutrition Resource Center to convert cups into tablespoons, etc.
Hope this helps.

There are so many wonderful recipes on this site, and I am extremely grateful for them. But I have a portion control problem, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to give an actual serving SIZE, not just the number of servings the recipe yields. (After all, the article about portion distortion warns about the dangers of "eyeballing" your portions...) For example, the tzatziki sauce yields 6 servings, but how big are they? It may seem like a small thing, but it would be a huge help to me. At the very least, it would save some time...
