All About Resizing Recipes
To resize a recipe:
- Open the recipe in the editor (Recipes… Recipes… dbl-click recipe name).
- Press the Resize button on the recipe edit window.
- Enter a number of servings for the resized recipe (only allowed if number of servings has previously been specified for the recipe – see Time-Yield tab on the recipe edit window).
- OR -
Enter a multiplier (0.5 to halve the recipe, 2.0 to double the recipe). To resize from 4 to 6 servings, enter 1.5. To resize from 12 to 8 serving, enter 0.67.
NYC will point out phrases in your recipe directions that you might want to change in the resized recipe, such as “Makes 6 servings”.
To save a resized recipe:
- You must first enable this option by checking “allow resized recipe to be saved” in Tools… Options… Editing…
- Press the Save button on the recipe edit window after resizing the recipe to save it.
To print a resized recipe:
- Use the Print menu selection on the main menu when a resized recipe is in the edit window. Don’t use the print button on the toolbar – it only prints “saved” recipes.
To resize a recipe in a meal plan:
- Click the Resize button on the edit menu window and change the multiplier to the left of the recipe you want resized for the meal plan.
