Crafting Recipes
I think it depends on what the recipe is, and what the ingredients are. Some are much more common and widely available so it makes sense to use more of them, otherwise they’d be worthless and the TP would end up swamped with ones that are never going to sell.
I was going to suggest realism as an argument too, until I came across the Bowl of Hummus which is apparently made from:
- 1 chickpea
- 1 sesame seed
- 1 lemon
- 1 head of garlic
(For those who don’t cook IRL most recipes call for 1 or 2 cloves of garlic per portion, and a head has about 8-12 cloves.)

I’m more curious how much hummus that would actually make … I mean 1 sesame seed is delicious but not very filling, maybe that’s what the 1 chickpea is for

There is also the fact that you destroy a milling stone every time you process some flax seeds …

And scribes need a new pen each time they write something. When I was a kid I tried to make my own pens from feathers, totally missed the ‘stick a metal nib on it’ part and they still lasted at least a week or so.
But we’re still doing better than Link in Legend of Zelda who would often destroy the key and the lock and the door when unlocking one.

Then there is https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plate_of_Frostgorge_Clams …
10 sticks of butter plus 4 bottles of rice wine

Considering that the Plate can serve everyone in the map (100+) and everyone who enters the map (potentially, everyone in your regions), seems like it would need more than 10 sticks of butter + 4 bottles of wine.

It’s a single meal for one person.
It is not a feast
