If you work in baking, pastry, catering, or food production, you know that many recipes share common components: a filling, a standard dough, a base sauce, a frosting, or a syrup.

Until now, that meant repeating ingredients across multiple recipes. PocketChef has changed that.

What Are Base Recipes?

The new Base Recipes feature allows you to create a recipe once and include it inside other recipes.

For example, imagine a layered cake with three possible fillings:

• Chocolate
• Milk Cream (Leite Ninho style)
• Lemon

Each filling can be saved as a Base Recipe. When creating the final cake recipe, you simply include the desired base recipe instead of manually adding all its ingredients again.

Less Repetition, More Organization

• Create the filling once
• Avoid duplication errors
• Maintain standardization
• Simplify updates

More Detailed and Accurate Pricing

PocketChef calculates the total cost of the base recipe and automatically applies it according to the quantity used in the final recipe.

If an ingredient cost changes, every related recipe updates automatically.

Perfect for Complex Recipes

Create base dough, base filling, base frosting, or base sauces and combine them easily into finished products.

This means greater control, improved cost precision, and stronger profitability.

With PocketChef, your food business becomes more organized, scalable, and profitable.
