Absolute Taste Event - Too Random
Is anybody else hating this event? I am stuck on Tier 8 trying to get 3 stars on the dumb spaghetti. I've used 1,000+ boxes worth of pasta ingredients and still have not gotten 3 stars. I have tried every single recipe I have found online and nothing. I have tried my own recipes and nothing. Is there some sort of technique I am missing here?

For example:
The recipe in the data for Spaghetti Bolognese is
Garlic x3
Spaghetti Noodles x9
Olive Oil x2
Tomato Sauce x4
This means your personal recipe can be either 2 or 3 garlic, 8 or 9 noodles, 1 or 2 oil, and 3 or 4 tomato sauce. 16 possibilities.
Furthermore, you can use the Master Chef Feedback, five times a day, to cut down on the random attempts. Just cook the "base recipe", click Gourdon's head next to the "Try Again?" button, and make note of the star grade he gives each of your ingredients. 4 means you got it right, anything else means you need to subtract one. (For the Legendary tier, the exact grade 1-3 helps tell you how far you are from the correct quantity).
Edit: oops, got the garlic quantities wrong
Thanks for the very detailed reply.
When you get 3 stars, Chef Gourdon tells you "could use a little more" or something like that. So you know you can do better.
Also the event notice on the website says there are more stars (it says 1-5, when it's actually 0-4, but at least it says it goes higher than 3) and shows you a picture of what the Chef looks like when he's really happy with your result.
Also, I did not say the correct recipe is +-3 from any 3-star recipe. It's +-3 from the "base" recipe posted for example here or here.
It's essentially this but in electronic format. The one guide with a Google doc associated with it gives you the maximum baseline. From what I've done from 1-7 and helped a friend get T9 to 4 stars, I've noticed that it's only -1 at most from the upper baseline.
When you get 3 stars, it means you have at least 50% of the ingredients correct, when it's 2 you have 1-(less than 50%) from my observations. If you land a 1, most likely just complete invert all the recipes and it'll be the 4 star.
You want to find a borderline 2-3 star recipe and then modify 1 each time to find correct ones. If you do this you'll get the correct recipe in the number of ingredients turns. Otherwise you can start to guess the correct recipe combo in half that time.
I haven't found it to be random yet, as long as you're using the upper baseline as a start.
