Parametric Recipes
Chef Tool treats baker's percentages as a first-class reading mode. Members can scale a recipe from a base weight instead of pretending every ingredient behaves linearly.
Built for
Bakers & Batch Cooks
Precision when it matters
Define one ingredient as the reference weight that anchors the whole formula.
Express everything else as a percentage so hydration, fat, and seasoning stay legible.
Adjust target yield directly and keep the advisory notes that explain when an ingredient rounds, stays fixed, or needs a stepped table.
Built for cooks, not content farms
Chef Tool is opinionated about the core reading and authoring loop: public recipes stay open, member signal stays meaningful, and every derivative stays connected to its source.
Standard and parametric entry
Write a recipe the approachable way or the precision way. Entry mode stays visible forever so readers know whether they are looking at narrative instructions or a scalable formula.
Use approachable ingredient quantities when that is the right format.
Switch to percentage-based ingredient entry when precision matters.
Readers can always see how the recipe first entered the system.
Fork recipes like working documents
Fork a public recipe, explain what changed, and keep the lineage visible instead of losing the relationship in a copy-paste.
Original author stays in the lineage.
See what changed at a glance.
Fork again. Create a family of variations.
