Mathematics is crucial in culinary processes. All the processes such as measuring the ingredients, calculating the proportions, recipe conversion, resizing a recipe, determining the cost per meal, and portioning include mathematical calculations. An incorrect portioning of the ingredients can cause a recipe's failure and increase costs resulting from consumer dissatisfaction.

In other words, most of the menu items served are a percent of the total production. As food products are prepared, they become a percent of their complete purchased unit of measure. The cake has already GONE!
