Revision as of 00:18, 22 September 2010
Nemo runs a recipeblog with some friends at http://tastymatic.wordpress.com
This is the tastymatrix formula developed with Nerissa for scoring foods.
Note: it is not in fact a matrix.
Contents |
Formula
Rating system is YAH/ETC
Yum×Adaptability×Health / Ease×Time×Cost
All ratings are between 1 and 5, except Yum and Ease between 1 and 10.
- YAH are "higher = better"
- ETC are "lower = better"
Ie, multiply stuff where higher=better and divide it by the stuff where lower = better.
In theory this gives a scale between 1/250 and 250, but in practice we expect numbers to come in between 5 and 20.
Yum
Subjective out of 10
Adaptability
A rating related to how easily can components be changed. Greater weight will be given to possible changes that relate to dietary reasons (eg: vegan, gluten free, nut free, etc), than simple availability or cost reasons.
Health
Could you live off this? A rule of thumb:
- 1 = toffee
- 2 = cake
- 3 = burger
- 4 = your basic healthy meal, but not "balanced" completely
- 5 = Something you could probably live off if you had to
Ease
Think of this as a diving-like "difficulty" rating. It's about conceptual ease
- 1 = make a sandwhich
- 3 = make tacos (the cooking requires extra skill, see)
- 6 = pavlova - getting those proportions right is getting more and more important
- 8 = less margin for error than a 3?
- 10 = requires Master/Iron-chef like skill
Time
How much time is invested in attending to this? A rule of thumb is to count every minute in preparation, but only one minute in 5 whilst it's cooking (and the only time requirement is to check on it now and then, and keep in mind to stop it at the right time.
- 1 = less than 5minutes
- 2 = 15 min
- 3 = 30 min
- 4 = 45 min
- 5 = 60+
Cost
Calculate PER serving. With expensive ingredients (eg, carnivores who like an expensive steak) this could go up. Our guidelines are:
- 1 = $1
- 2 = $4
- 3 = $9
- 4 = $16
- 5 = $25
Recipes
- Garlic damper
- roast veg wraps
- corned beans for tacos and nachos
