Sub-recipes

How do sub-recipes work?

When you change a sub-recipe such as "pie crust", the cost is automatically updated for you in all recipes and menu items that contain it such as "apple pie", "pumpkin pie", and "blueberry pie".


Introduction

A recipe can be a component contained in a menu item or in another recipe (sub-recipe).

For recipes, components can be ingredients and other recipes (sub-recipes).

See how frequently each ingredient is used in the selected recipe, and in which layers of sub-recipes.
