This program reads in the ingredient list for making a spinach quiche, big enough to serve 5 people. It asks the user to enter the number of people the cook is cooking for. The program then prints out the ingredient list for the quiche, with the amount of each ingredient adjusted for the number of people the quiche should serve. The program prints both to a file and to the screen.
Here is the input file 'spinachquiche.txt':
"Spinach Quiche"
serves 5
1 9-inch "deep dish frozen pie crust"
1 tablespoon "butter"
0.5 cup "thinly sliced shallots"
4 large "eggs"
1.25 cups "heavy cream"
1 pinch "ground nutmeg"
0.75 teaspoon "salt"
0.125 teaspoon "cayenne pepper"
1 cup "finely shredded Gruyère, packed"
10 ounces "frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and wrung free of water"
Here is the output file, if the user says that they are cooking for 10 people:

Here is the Spinach Quiche ingredient list, where the amounts have been adjusted to feed 10 people:

Two of the ingredients - pie crust and eggs - really only make sense in integer quantities. You're not going to cook a quiche with 2.5 pie crusts, and you're not going to use 4.3 eggs. So for these 2 ingredients, round 'measurement' to the nearest integer. The associated print statement will need to change. Instead of {0:0.3} use {0}.
