How to Create a New Recipe

What is the recipes section?

The Recipes section is a central location for creating, managing, and comparing recipes for a given formula.

To allow for recipe iteration, comparison, and analysis.

Step 1: Navigate to the Formulas tab and click the edit icon for an existing formula record.

Step 2: Ensure that you are on the Recipes section for that formula.

Click the edit icon next to the recipe name to edit its name and ID.

Step 3: Click the Base Recipe dropdown to change the base recipe information (serving size, target amount, etc.).

Step 4: Click +Add > Add Items on the right side of the Items table to add items to the recipe.

These items are often different from item records listed on the Items Supplied tab. Learn more about working with the Items tab here.

Step 5: Click Assign next to any item you would like to add to the recipe.

Step 6: Click Done.

Step 7: Add/remove/arrange items or add existing recipes as items (sub-recipes) as needed.

Change the column template by clicking the column icon on the top right of the Items table.

Step 8: Click Save.
