Managing a Recipe

You can manage your recipes in Recipe Builder to maintain your Recipe Book. After a recipe is created, you can edit, print, duplicate, and delete.

Note

You can duplicate and modify an existing recipe to create a similar recipe. For example, duplicate Chocolate Pudding Pie to create Vanilla Pudding Pie.

Note

Rename Recipes allows you to batch rename recipes when terminology changes occur within your organization. For example, renaming due to new terminology per the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI).
