- 39 A family cookbookFor a family saving three generations of recipe cardsPhotograph the recipe box, let your assistant file every card as a recipe, add the stories only the family knows, and send everyone a link.
- 40 A cookbook manuscriptFor a food writer testing sixty recipes for a first cookbookDevelop a cookbook the way test kitchens do: a document per recipe, a section per testing round, and your assistant comparing rounds.
- 41 A sourdough bake logFor a home baker who wants to know why Saturday’s loaf workedLog every loaf with the same table of numbers, then let your assistant compare the good bakes with the dense ones and find the variable that moved.
- 42 A restaurant kitchen manualFor a chef-owner training new cooks without a sous chefReplace the station binder with a manual cooks read on their phones: every recipe by weight, with its plating and allergens, changed once for everyone.
