Standard Recipes

• How are they written
• See example (EXCEL file)
• When example is opened, move your mouse over the
  red arrows and explanation will open for each
  section

How do you convert?

• New Yield/Old YieldConversion Factor
• Must consider
• Volatile flavors (onions, garlic, peppers, spices
  have a tendency to multiply upon themselves when
  added in too much of a quantity, therefore the
  conversion factor is 3 times and then to taste
• Certain items do not shrink (pastas, potatoes
  see the Book of Yields)

Example-completed

• Now see an example (EXCEL) file of a completed
  standardized recipe
• Move your mouse over the red arrows and open the
  comments and explanations

Lets Revisit AP/EP

• Example
• If you have to serve 400 people broccoli as a
  side item, how much broccoli do you need in
  pounds?
• Choose amount to serve (4 oz.)
• 4 oz x 400 guests 1600 oz.
• 1600 oz. / 16 oz 100 EP

• If you have to serve 400 people broccoli as a

  pounds? AND how much would you need to buy?
• 1. How are you buying broccoli?
• Pounds and Whole
• 2. What is the yield on broccoli?
• .628 (62.8 )
• 3. EP/AP yield
• 1600 / x .628
• 1600.628x
• 1600/.628x
• 2547.77 x
• 2547.77 / 16 159.23 , 159 , 3.68 oz, 159, 4
  oz

Now, lets determine our costs
