Get The Kitchen Formula Calculator v4 Update


An older version of The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3, was posted on this blog some time ago. Since then I've updated the tool to be easier to use, and added a couple features. 

The Kitchen Formula Calculator has been created using Apple Numbers. The Apple Numbers version is the most complete, and coherent file that includes a tab with a Quick Start guide, and a fairly comprehensive article about the calculator. To get the Apple Numbers file:

For Excel and Google Sheets, the links are listed below. 

For both of these file formats my written notes that appear on several tabs do not display properly after converting from Apple Numbers, but there is a way to make it display. Simply double tap on the notes and the "drawing" window displays so that these can be edited. The full text of the notes displays in the drawing window.

Volume to Weight Conversions with Conversion Tables If you desire to stop having to do ingredient  conversions from volume to weight, then read any of my posts about The Kitchen  Formula Calculator    I  developed, and learn to use it to write your own recipes, or to record the ones you already use . It's not hard. You will need to do the volume  conversions one last time, then never again. Much of the volume to weight conversion data in the chart below has been compiled from my own measure. Many of the conversions in this table come from the King Arthur website, a lot more from an on-line calculator ( https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/food-volume-to-weight ) that uses data from the USDA National Nutritional Database, which is, in turn, based upon ingredient density assumptions. I’ve used various such tools over the years, this one seems to be reasonably accurate. The King Arthur Flour website is generally reliable too. “Generally reliable” is as good a...

The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3

The Kitchen Formula Calculator v3 is a formula writing tool I developed in 2020. It’s specifically designed for recipes that cooks, not bakers, make. In other words, everything, but bread. It provides an efficient format for composing recipes, is easy to read, and using it quickly becomes second nature after a few entries. The Kitchen Formula Calculator is a record keeping device, a recipe development tool, and an analytical tool. To be able to compare various similar formulae is something all cooks do. For this, it’s exceptional.   If you’re a culinary instructor, using The Kitchen Formula Calculator teaches the metric system, the virtues of singular units of measure, describes a very useful recipe formatting style that can serve students their entire careers, and could be a central part of a course that teaches proper recipe writing skills. If this is not part of the syllabus, it ought to be. If you write commercial articles, or make professional seminar presentations, it will h...

Birth of The Unabaker

For years, the Chef resisted all of McDoo's entreaties and cajoling. The pleading and rationalizing, the gentler persuasions, as well, the occasional conversation ending throwaway commentary about hard headedness, willfulness, and "stubbornosity" (a classic McDooism). All efforts of his longtime friend waved away with only bare considerations given. But, McDoo, stranger he was not to the old Chef's grumpy self assurance, persisted. Eventually, even boulders crumble, he reasoned. "Dammit Baker! What a pity? What luminous dumbness? What selfishness? How grossly inconsiderate, this hardness of heart! Damn your stoic intransigence! A pall upon kindness and duty! What about History, Philosophy, Art? What of Science, Aesthetics? How does Gastronomy carry on? Your place in the pantheon? What point be our petty lives if we cannot be remembered? If we cannot relinquish what we've learned?" McDoo's been known on occasions to put on grand airs; a flair for th...
