Dear recipe writers, do not tell me how much cheese to add. Cheese is boolean. I will decide the amount.

Could you read it as "At least (measure) grated cheese"?

Everything tastes better with cheese. Even cheese. So let´s add some more cheese to the cheese. plus maybe some jam on the side...

I’m not a math guy but wouldn’t that mean there’s a true or valid amount? I guess if that amount is “more” not “less” then it’s okay.

This is exceptionally helpful. (I already live by it, but it validates my excellent choice to always have cheese on hand.)

Why use a paltry 3/4 of a cup when 3 cups will do nicely?
