I don't understand, are you saying you can't divide 2/3 by 8? It would be 1/12

I don't see how suzanne's recipe is going to feed 12-24 people.

Surely any recipe that feeds that many will have easily divisible proportions.

If not what I would do is take a scale, weight it out in grams, then divide the grams by 8.

For example if the orginal recipe calls for 2/3 cups chopped onion, weigh that out, lets say it weighs 400 grams, then you would want 50 grams of onions, so just weigh out 50 grams on your scale.
