but the 3 cloves of garlic is kind of pointless 
The correct number of cloves of garlic for any recipe is 2^n+1 cloves, where n=the number of people eating. This means you use two cloves of garlic if nobody is eating, three for one person, five for two people, nine for three people, seventeen for four people, etc.

Using the formula, it would have to be five. Dracula always dines with a guest; the recipe calls for the guest to be well-drained, of course.

Here is a particularly interesting website for those who approach cooking as an engineering problem to be solved. The Interesting Website

From which, this surprising comment:
"The balance in all other disciplines is considered separate from a scale, but in cooking we lump the two together."

Cooking is half art, half science and half engineering. There are, of course, those who will ignore two of those halves and claim their half is all that is needed. Some of these people still make magnificent cooks so should be neither ignored nor avoided.
