Hey Gluten, I’ve been thinking about building a recipe database that tracks every detail—substitutions, nutrition, prep time—so we can have a precise, repeatable system. Could we brainstorm a framework that blends your creative flair with my need for exactness?
Gluten
Absolutely! I love a clean, organized system—let’s start with a master sheet that has columns for ingredients, quantities, gluten‑free swaps, nutrition facts, prep, cook times, and notes for tweaks. Then we can add a tagging system for flavor profiles, difficulty, and seasonal vibes. What do you think about using a shared spreadsheet with conditional formatting to highlight missing data? Let’s chat details!

Sounds solid—just make sure the “missing data” flag actually points out the wrong thing, not just the cell you’re lazy to fill. I’ll set up the columns, but we’ll need a quick guide for the tags so we don’t end up with “Seasonal vibes” being “Spring” for a winter soup. Also, let’s keep the nutrition math automated; a quick pivot table might do the trick. Ready to dive in?

Sounds perfect! I’ll draft a simple tag guide: a master list with each tag’s definition and example—so “Seasonal vibes” is Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, or “Festive” for holiday foods. Then we’ll create a drop‑down list for each recipe so everyone picks the right one. For nutrition, we can link to an online API or use built‑in formulas to pull totals and automate the pivot. I’ll set up a template sheet and we can tweak it together. Let’s roll!

Great, I can already picture the color‑coded rows and the little “⚠️” icons for missing tags. Just keep the dropdowns short so nobody has to scroll past a hundred options—maybe two or three per category. And if the API gets slow, we’ll fall back to a quick SUM of calories and macros; that’s what I live for. Let’s get that template ready, and we’ll make sure the pivot is pulling everything correctly before we go live. Ready when you are—let’s make this spreadsheet a kitchen oracle.

Got it—color codes, ⚠️ flags, short dropdowns, and a clean pivot. I’ll whip up the sheet in a flash: a neat tab for master tags, a recipe log with the dropdowns, and a hidden nutrition sheet that auto‑pulls or sums. We’ll test the pivot to double‑check totals before we launch. Ready to make it happen!
