Recipe data
Ingredients
- Ingredients are created in a separate view before being usable in a recipe.
- By double-clicking a new ingredient a new window appears, where the following can be associated to the ingredient:
- Ingredient name
- Picture of the ingredient
- Short description of the ingredient
- Standard unit
- Minimum amount available in supermarkets and (approximate) unit equivalents of this (ie. Ingredient: “flåede tomater”; Minimum amount: “1 ds”; Equivalents: “2 1/2 dl”, “250 g”)
- By double-clicking an ingredient which has got these data associated with it, a view-window appears. It is also accessible by Right-click → View.
- By mouse-over of an ingredient which has got these data associated with it, the same view-window appears as a pop-up box with a different background colour after a second or so.
- Edit-mode of an ingredient which has already got these data associated with it, is accessed by double-clicking the ingredient, thus bringing forth the view-window, in which an Edit-button is available. It is also accessible by Right-clik → Edit.
- If an ingredient has these data associated with it, and when entered into a new recipe it is connected with a unit not associated with this ingredient, please inform the user of this with a direct link to edit-mode of this ingredient's data and an option to select the pre-associated unit and have the entered amount converted to this unit.
Amounts
- Each ingredient must be specified by an amount. This is to be put as integers and fractions - no decimals. If decimals are entered, convert to fraction. Amounts are to be entered as free text.
Units
- Units are created in a separate view and correlated to all other relevant units (ie. 1000 g = 1 kg = 35 oz = 4,44 cup) before being usable in a recipe.
- Unit-view contains the following options:
- Create unit (type in singular and plural forms and their common abbreviation where applicable)
- Convert unit (a unit calculator - type in amount, select unit to be converted from and unit to be converted to).
- Double-clicking an existing unit brings up a window for editing this unit.
- Automatic convertion from typed-in units to chosen set of standard units. Ie. convert from kg to g or from fl.oz to dl or l above for instance 1 l.
Preparation method
- Preparation methods are sometimes but not necessarily attached to an ingredient in a recipe. The text in the preparation method-field is written as free text and no suggestions should be made by the program.
Categories
- Categories are created in a separate view before being usable in a recipe.
- Subcategories are to appear at the top of a category (and not for instance under the letter with which they start).
- Subcategories can be mapped to appear in multiple categories (ie. the category “Kager” with all its subcategories is also a subcategory of “Desserter” and “Te og kaffe”).
- Various recipes should be categorizable in several categories and/or subcategories, also several subcategories of the same category (ie. a pizza with minced beef is due in both the “Minced meat” and “Pizza”-subcategories of “Dinner”).
