About sub-recipes
Think of sub-recipes as mini recipes. Sub-recipes are handy for things like sauces, dressings or toppings that you use in more than one dish.
Once created, a sub-recipe can be inserted into any other recipe without needing to re-enter the ingredients or method each time.
This helps save time, maintain consistency, and ensure accurate ingredient records across your menu.
Common examples of sub-recipes include:
- Salad dressings
- Pasta sauces
- Crumb coatings
- Custards or glazes
