Building a dictionary

You've been working with separate lists for your recipe ingredients, quantities, and units, but you've realized that dictionaries are a better way to link everything together.

You'll now start to create a dictionary called recipe that stores each ingredient as a key and its quantity (in grams) as the value. This will make it much easier to scale your recipe for different party sizes later on.
