It depends on the end quantity of food. And I am a bad, horrible rule breaker when cooking for my family and totally taste stuff while cooking. I typically start with about 1/4 tsp and move up from there until it tastes good. It basically just means add salt until you like how it tastes.

Adds as much or as little as the cook likes. Salt it, taste it. If it needs more add more. But, if you are known for liking salry food, don't keep adding. People can salt their own food after it's served but they cannot undo an aggressively salty dish.

i used to feel the same way because i didn't know what "salt to taste" meant, and i much preferred recipes that had a specific quantity of salt. but now, after years and years of cooking, i'm more comfortable with the amount of salt a dish needs and i don't measure the amount of salt that i throw in.
