The binomial distribution with typical Darkest Dungeon parameters for food has a long tail. It's quite often not enough, even in dungeons that normally drop a high amount of food from Curios (Cove, Weald). I personally always bring the maximum amount of food. I find that in long dungeons, you don't really need more, as you don't need to snuff the torch for extra loot, you'll have plenty without doing that (and save the 75 gold). Typically, a short dungeon has ~4 battles, a medium ~8, and a long about 12, so you would want 12, 24, and 24 torches (counting the firewood as 4). So ideally you want 4 torches per battle beyond the first. (You should snuff out your torch completely before looting any curio and before a battle ends to increase the loot gained).
I find that when playing with Torches and Food, bring lots of both if you want to benefit from Curios more. Obviously, you'll always need Food and Shovels. It depends on what you want out of a dungeon. Crimson Court: +++ Shovels, + Herbs (thanks, no simple, straightforward answer.Ruins: + Holy Water, + Skeleton Key, + Shovel.
Next, based on DarkestDungeon Wiki - Curio you can estimate what extras you need given where you go: From personal experience I would suggest as a baseline a bit less food since you usually find some (at least for short ones), same with torches (6 for small), and a 1 of everything else.
