recipe sizes

I often find a good recipe for a favorite dish, only to find, to my dismay, that it is for 10 or twelve people.  I once found a website where you could type in the number of people for the recipe you wer on and it would automatically adjust the ingredient list. Does anyone knwo where this is? Or any ideas? I love Shepherd's pie but cannot find a recipe for less than 8.

What is comfort food?

In America, we use the phrase "comfort food" to refer to familiar, easy-to-prepare food that often evokes memories of childhood.  Kids love comfort food because it's simple and has an uncomplicated taste.  Adults often crave comfort food for a sense of continuity and/or security.  It is usually savory and/or high in carbohydrates.
