Recipes are the foundation of your Tandoor space. A Recipe has one or more steps that contain ingredients, instructions and other information.
+ Ingredients in turn consist of an amount, a unit and a food, allowing recipes to be scaled, nutrition's to be calculated and shopping to be organized.
+ Besides manually creating them you can also import them from various different places.
+ Recipes, by default, are visible to all members of your space. Setting them to private means only you can see it. After setting it to private you
+ can manually specify the people who should be able to view the recipe.
+ You can also create a share link for the recipe to share it with everyone that has access to the link.
+ The Recipe importer is one of the most powerful features of Tandoor and allows you to quickly add recipes in multiple different ways.
+ The easiest is to import from a URL. If that is not enough you can also import from an Image or PDF file using AI.
+ If you already have an existing Recipe database in another format there is also a good chance Tandoor will have an
+ importer for that program.
+ Units allow you to measure how much of something you need in a recipe or on a shopping list.
+ They are also essential for the calculation of Properties.
+ Setting a base unit allows you to name your Unit however you want (e.g. grams, g, G, gram) while allowing Tandoor
+ to automatically convert between the units in the same system (weight/volume, e.g. from g to kg or from cup to pint).
+ Additionally you can use custom unit conversion to convert between volume and weight trough the specific density
+ of a food (e.g. 1 cup of flour = 120 g). These conversions are used to calculate the Properties for a Recipe
+ and might allow cosmetic display changes later.
+ Foods have multiple uses in Tandoor. Their most important task is to be part of recipe ingredients together with an amount and
+ a unit.
+ Using the Food editor you can also add properties to a food or link the food to another recipe or external URL.
+ Foods are also used or created when adding entries to the shopping list.
+ Keywords are a very flexible Tool to help you organize your recipe collection.
+ Keywords can quickly be created when editing a Recipe by just typing into the Keywords field or they can
+ be created trough the Keyword Editor.
+ Typical keywords include meal types (breakfast, lunch, dinner, ...), couise (american, italian, ...) or diet (vegan, vegetarian, ..).
+
+ Tip: Using Emojis in Keywords makes them easy to recognize.
+ A Recipe consists of multiple Steps.
+ Each Step has Ingreditens (which are at least a Food but typically consist of amount,
+ Unit and Food). A Step can also contain instuctions, times, files or link to another Recipe.
+ Additionally a Recipe can have Properties, Comments, Keywords and more.
+ The Properties system allows you to add additional data to your Foods and Recipes in the respective editors.
+ Most commonly you would use this to add nutrition facts but the system can also be used to track prices,
+ dietary points or any other kind of property.
+ You first need to create the Property Types that you need (e.g. Carbohydrates, Sugar, Price, Points, ..).
+ Setting the FDC ID for a Property Type allows Tandoor to connect your custom Property Type to a property in the FDC database.
+ You can then go to a Food, set its FDC ID and Tandoor can automatically pull the properties you want from the FDC database.
+ When adding a Property to the Recipe it will just be staticly displayed in the Recipe view.
+ Adding properties to a Foods will allow Tandoor to calculate the properties for all the Ingredients in a Recipe based
+ on the Foods and their respective Units and Amounts.
+ Food Properties are entered based on a certain amount of food (often 100 g). Unit Conversions allow Tandoor to
+ calculate the property amount if a Food is given in a different unit (e.g. 1kg or 1 cup).
