Open New recipe
Go to Recipes & Costs > New recipe. Enter Recipe name, Makes, and What it makes. A yield of 12 and “cookies” is clearer than a vague “one batch.”
Add an ingredient group, such as Dough, Frosting, or Packaging.
Choose an ingredient or saved recipe for each component and enter Quantity and Unit.
Add another group when the preparation has distinct sub-recipes or public declaration sections.
Use Notes for internal preparation guidance.
Select Save recipe, then choose Save draft or Save & mark ready. An already-ready recipe can be saved ready or returned to draft.
You can save a draft with unresolved ingredients. The editor reports how many ingredients need review and explains that cost and price suggestions appear after matching is complete.
Use the yield when attaching a product
The saved recipe contains full-recipe amounts: a recipe that makes 10 cookies should contain the ingredients for all 10 cookies. In the product recipe, set Amount per individual item to 1 cookie for one cookie. Do not divide that output amount by 10 again.
A first saved-recipe assignment uses the recipe yield and the amount per item to initialize the product’s production batch. Later recipe replacement preserves an existing batch size. Review it through Edit batch ingredients when the batch you prepare changes. Set larger packs separately under Items in each size or pack.
What customers see
Recipes are operational data by default. Customers see the separate storefront ingredient declaration only after you review and publish it through the product formulation editor.
Common problems
The saved recipe cannot be selected: check whether it is archived. Current pickers include unarchived draft and ready recipes. Readiness does not resolve missing costs or conversions.
Yield is wrong: recipe quantities and the What it makes unit define how product quantities scale.
A recipe references itself: choose another saved recipe; cycles are blocked.
Deleting feels risky: archive recipes; existing product references and cost history are retained.
Import and review a recipe
Use Import recipe for a URL or pasted recipe. Confirm what the batch makes, review suggested ingredient matches, and correct any quantity marked for review. Amount fields accept familiar fractions. Add a missing ingredient or measurement from the review without discarding your draft.
When an imported line includes an equivalent weight, you can explicitly choose that weight for the recipe or save an ingredient measurement. Review the proposal before saving it. To make a storefront item, set One product uses and select Save recipe & create product draft; finish the unpublished product’s price, photos, and availability afterward.
