An entremet or a tart is made of several preparations. ChefBase keeps them in one
sheet.

 1. **Add a preparation:** “+ Preparation (sub-recipe)” adds a sponge, a cream, a glaze.
 2. **Each preparation has its own weights:** raw and cooked, with its own loss.
 3. **Write the method:** step by step, or click “Generate method”.

**Key point:** one sheet = one finished product, even with several preparations.
