In this window, you can change the name of your Recipe, change your serving size (number of total servings or per-serving weight you entered when you created the Recipe) and associate a user code, Supplier or Product with your Recipe.

Naming & Sizing a Recipe

You must name your Recipe and decide on a serving size before the program will allow you to continue. You can modify both name and Serving Size later, if so desired.

  1. Type a name in the Name box.
  2. Select either serving size or serving weight by clicking the corresponding radio button.
  3. Type an appropriate value.
  4. Click Finish.

Other options available from this screen

Common name - The Common Name is generally a shortened version of a longer Item Name You can choose (in Preferences) to display the Common Name instead of the Item Name in your Reports.

User code - You can use this field to store an original, specific user code for your recipe. Later, when adding this recipe to a foodlist, you will be able to search for it by its code. 

Supplier - If your information comes from a supplier, you may wish to associate the supplier with the recipe to further simplify future searches. 

Product - You may choose to associate a Product name with your recipe for organization and/or ease of future searches.

Serving Size Volume - Use this field to enter the correct volume-to-weight conversion. Later, you can choose either volume (ml) or weight (g) for the label serving size display.

Note: ESHA code, creation date and modified date are automatically filled in by the program. The ESHA code only applies to foods already in the program’s database.
