Why centralize recipes
Recipes scattered across spreadsheets and emails get lost faster than they’re written. In MyTotalMix we keep them in one place, with change history and clear ownership.
Recipe lifecycle
- Draft - start from a blank record, add ingredients and processes.
- Review - a teammate checks and comments.
- Publish - the recipe ships to production with a version number.
- Update - every change is a new version; the old one stays archived.
Good practices
- Name recipes so the name works alone - no comment translation needed.
- Add units to every number.
- Comment the why, not the what - the recipe says what it does.
