The editor is where you can enter new recipes, modify existing recipes, define search criteria, change the number of servings (and have the ingredient quantities recalculated) check the spelling and more. You can have up to fifty ingredients in each recipe and up to 8k of preparations text. You can use the arrow keys and/or the tab key to move around in the editor. When you're on the field you want to modify or change just type in your changes. AccuChef doesn't use a separate viewer and editor screen like other cooking software. If you decide to discard your changes you can cancel the edit session to revert to the original recipe.
