Recipe Books

Recipe books let you gather recipes into a curated collection—a training binder for new cooks, a seasonal menu, a catering package, or a cookbook to share with customers. Each book can scale its recipes, build a combined shopping list, and be shared or downloaded as a PDF.

Recipe Books Overview

What it is: A recipe book is a named collection of your existing recipes, organized into sections, with optional notes on each recipe.

Why you'd use it:

• Group the recipes for an event, station, or season in one place
• Scale every recipe in the book to the batch size you need
• Get one combined shopping list for everything in the book
• Share a whole collection with a single link, or print it as a PDF

How it fits together:

Recipe Book
├── Sections (e.g., "Appetizers", "Mains", "Desserts")
│   └── Recipes ──► link to your existing recipes
│       ├── Scale (optional, e.g., "20" servings)
│       └── Curator Notes
├── Shopping List ──► combined ingredients from every recipe
├── Notes
└── Share ──► public link, embed code, PDF

Key terminology:

• Curator Notes - Your notes on why a recipe is in the book or how to use it
• Scale - A per-recipe size for this book only. It never changes the original recipe
