	Try not to make a main dish very spicy. Moderate spiciness is ok, especially if it is a dish that is traditionally spicy, like a curry. This is subjective and cultural of course, but it’s important to know your audience and make food that most who live in our area can enjoy.		Try not to make a main dish very spicy.

			Don’t be afraid to add a little sugar or honey to a sauce or soup if you think it needs it! Fresh tomatoes, for example, are quite acidic and even after cooking, can benefit from a spoonful or two of sugar. You can also add sweetness to a soup by caramelizing carrots, yams, or tomato paste, converting their starches to sugars.

			=== Tomato Paste ===
			For best results (and to avoid that bitter flavor that sometimes comes with tomato paste), gently fry the paste on its own with half olive, half neutral oil before adding to the dish (or adding the rest of the ingredients to the paste). Fry it well, til it changes color to a more red-brick complexion. Avoid burning by stirring very often, as that also makes it bitter.

			Not just for curries, though this technique derives from that which is used to flavor them. Heat a neutral vegetable oil over medium flame and add '''only whole spices''' to it. Swirl the pan while the spices crackle, they're done when you can really smell them (no more than a minute, and watch for burning). Usually this is done immediately prior to adding fresh aromatics to the pan (onions/alliums, tomatoes, celery, carrots, fresh herbs), so use the amount of oil you'd want to start those in. It can also be done towards the end of a cooking process and poured into the cooking-pot.

	When considering flavor, about 10 cups of onions serves as a solid base for a 35-cup entree, as does 10-20 cups of tomatoes. Tomatoes tend to have more water content than onions, especially when fresh. Using both together is a great shortcut to a delicious savory meal base, and is a good start for a fresh pasta sauce, curry, or bean dish.

			A "rice cup" is not the same volume as a measuring cup!
			'''One serving of rice, dry, is 3/4 cup by volume.'''

	A pound of pasta generally feeds 5 people, more if you are making a side starch like mashed potatoes. A large pot can comfortably cook around 10 pounds of pasta at a time.

			=== Quantity ===
			While we don't have a specific rule for how much food to make, as the amount of food which is taken by the public tends to fluctuate with the seasons, '''we currently aim to prepare about 35 meals per evening serve'''. Morning coffee serves aim to distribute 4 full airpots of coffee, or 3 pots of coffee and 1 pot of hot water. The airpots hold approx. 1.9 liters, or 64 ounces, for a total of about 5-10 cups of coffee per airpot, depending on serving size.

			When vegetables are cooked, they shrink due to water loss. Thus, more vegetable by mass needs to be prepped than the expected output of servings will eventually be. A general rule that has worked in the past is:
			* '''50 cups of vegetables reduces to about 30-35 cups of cooked food'''

			This depends on the density of the vegetable in question; leafy greens tend to shrink much more drastically than starchy roots. Take this into consideration when getting out the cutting boards. A little math at the beginning of a serve can save you a big headache at the end.
