The kitchen’s recipe builder lets you describe a dish and have Basanti draft the recipe — its ingredients and quantities — which you then review and refine. As you build, it shows the live cost of the recipe from your current stock prices.
This lives in the kitchen Recipes area. Build a recipe by hand, or let Basanti draft it from a description and edit from there.

​
Drafting a recipe

1

Describe the dish

Give Basanti the dish and roughly what goes into it. She drafts a recipe — ingredients matched to your items (or sub-recipes), with quantities.
2

Review and adjust

Check each ingredient, quantity, and any waste percentage. Swap items, change amounts, or remove lines. Unmatched ingredients are flagged so nothing is silently dropped.
3

Save

Save the recipe to your masters. It can then be produced in the kitchen and used wherever recipes drive costing.

​
Live costing

As the recipe takes shape, its cost rolls up from your current per-item prices — including nested sub-recipes — so you see the batch cost and per-portion cost while you edit, not after.
When a leaf ingredient has no price yet, it’s marked as unpriced so you know the cost is partial rather than wrong.

Good to know

Review-first

AI drafts; you decide. Nothing is saved until you confirm the recipe.

Monthly allowance

AI drafting draws on your workspace’s monthly AI allowance, with a per-tenant cap. Building a recipe by hand is always free.
