recipe-batch-components

To structure recipes by batch and components, you define a batch.totalGrams value in the recipe frontmatter and decompose the recipe into atomic components, each with explicit yieldGrams, ingredients, and steps in grams.

Decomposing a recipe into atomic components means breaking down a complete recipe into reusable parts, such as a Base or Finish, where each part has its own ingredients, steps, and a documented yieldGrams value.

Validating batch totalGrams against component yields requires ensuring the batch.totalGrams value defined in the frontmatter exactly matches the sum of all individual component yieldGrams values combined.

Yes, recipe batch components are specifically designed for recipe development and data-tracking workflows, allowing chefs or developers to inspect, reuse, and track predictable batch weights and serving heuristics.

You should include serving heuristics when defining recipe components if applicable, as the recipe structure requires each component to include ingredients and steps in grams plus notes on serving heuristics.

Recipe ingredients and steps for batch component design should follow a YAML frontmatter format, specifying gram amounts for ingredients and ensuring steps explicitly reference those gram measurements.
