bakeR

A package to help bakers scale their recipes

How to use

bake() Usage

bake (chosen_recipe, limiting_ingredient, amount_to_modify)

Arguments

• chosen_recipe: this selects the recipe you want to use. If you choose (or misspell) a recipe that isn't in the list, it will return a list of valid recipes.

• limiting_ingredient (optional): If limiting ingredient is not specified, function will return just the base recipe. If a limiting ingredient is specified, then you will need to specify the amount_to_modify as well. Basically, specify this ingredient to scale the recipe to use however much of the limiting ingredient you have.

• amount_to_modify (optional): Only optional if limiting_ingredient is not specified. This is the amount to scale the recipe by.

Example

If you want to make financiers, but only have 100 grams of egg whites, you can specify: bake("financier" "egg whites", 100) and it will scale the recipe accordingly.

Notes

Recipe measurements are given in grams or mls. Cook times are not given because they may change as the recipe volumes change. Use your judgement as a baker and do other research.
