some notes

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"

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
