It depend on what "quite a bit" means. For starters I almost always
cut the volume in half for 2 diners. So that could be conceived as
considerable. Then tweak plenty when there are exotic ingredients I
don't feel like fetching or don't consider critical. Then, sometimes I
find out I don't have a major component.

Tweaking from circumstance as opposed to some imposed dietary/aesthetic
demand is likely not what you're talking about. Again.
