Costing Worksheet
- How many being served?______
- How many of those are freebies?_______ (King,
Queen, Prince, Princess, etc
- Divide total number to serve by number of
people a recipe feeds - this gives you how many recipes to make. For
example: 80 people being served. Recipe feeds 8. 80 divided by 8 gives
us 10 recipes.
- Multiply the ingredients listed in the recipe
by the number of recipes to make.
For example: Fine Bread recipe
2 cup flour x 10 recipes = 20 cups
1 cup sugar x 10 recipes = 10 cups
2 tbsp crushed anise seed x 10 recipes = 20 tbsp
4 eggs x 10 recipes = 40 eggs
1 tsp rosewater x 10 recipes = 10 tsp

- Add up all the ingredients for all the recipes
being served.
- Figure out the quantity required for each
ingredient for the entire feast. For example, in the table above, we use
2 cups of flour in recipe 1, 4 cups in recipe 5, etc. All the recipes
using flour are totaled together for a total of 20 cups.
- Know what the unit of purchase is, and how many
cups or however it is measured it comes in. For example: a five pound
bag of flour yields approx. 20 to 25 cups of flour. (not really, but for
this example it works)
- Determine the number of units you need to
purchase to fulfill your needs.
- Multiply the number of units by the unit cost.
This gives you your total cost for that ingredient.
- Total all the ingredient cost totals for your
total cost for feast.
