Ok so i got a new cookbook it doesn't give the serving sizes it just says serves 6-8 people how do you know what a serving size is?

  • Usually a serving size is a cup. If it's meat, then a serving size is a deck of cards. Sorry I couln't be more help. I guess it all depends on what it is you are cooking.
  • I would say 1 serving per person, so cut it into 8 pieces.
