How to estimate recipe cost per serving

Add up what you’ll use of each ingredient, then divide by the number of servings. This tells you what went into the dish. Your grocery bill may be higher if you have to buy whole packs.

Work out the cost from your groceries

If a 1 kg bag of rice costs €2 and the recipe uses 100 g, count €0.20 for the rice. Do the same for each ingredient. If they add up to €6 for four servings, that’s €1.50 a serving.
