Sub-recipes

One cream, many cakes

Your crème pâtissière is a recipe of its own. In the éclairs and the fruit tart, type its name in the ingredient field. It goes in as a line, with an amount in the unit the cream recipe yields. Change the cream once, less sugar or a new vanilla, and every cake that uses it follows.

It scales to the amount used

The cream recipe makes 800 g and the tart uses 300 g. The app treats that as three eighths of a batch. Ingredients, cost, calories and allergens roll into the tart at that share. The cream’s own overhead and labour come with it. Tap the line to open the cream at exactly that amount. Its base yield stays as it was.

Where the sub-recipes travel

Sending the tart to the shopping list asks whether to include the ingredients of its sub-recipes or only its own. Planning it asks whether the cream goes on the plan as a step of its own. An order carries only the tart. The cream is inside its cost and its ingredient list, not a separate item.
