If I add a new ingredient, I end up linking it several times before I actually get it linked so it can be nutrition analyzed. What is the proper process?
I suggest you enter all the ingredients in a new recipe, then use Nutrition… Get Links From Ingredient Droplist. This will link several ingredients for you automatically. Then dbl-click the first ingredient. If it shows already linked, single click the next ingredient below it, linking as needed as you step through each ingredients with a single click. When done, save the recipe. I want recipe ingredients to appear in my own language (Dutch), so I add them to the ingredient droplist. But then I also want to know the nutrition values of any given recipe, but it won’t work because I cannot modify the serving sizes of the ingredients already in the database. For example: The Dutch word for “apple” is “appel” (spelled just slightly different). So if an apple is one of the ingredients in my Dutch or translated recipes, I want it to appear as APPEL and not as APPLE. So that’s what I put in the recipe. If I link APPEL ingredient to APPLE in the nutrition database, it has a nutrition value.
