Personally, I think it would be nice to give a range or starting
portion. It could be a tiny pinch or a tablespoon, or more, depending
on what the recipe is, and what ingredient is being discussed.

For example, when I give my recipe for smoked salmon dip, I list a
smaller amount of liquid smoke with a note, add more if you prefer it
stronger (as I usually do).
