Current focus

  • • Maintaining a usable recipe builder for gelato and sorbet modes.
  • • Surfacing formulation metrics, assumptions, warnings, and exportable recipe data.
  • • Expanding ingredient coverage while preserving clear confidence labels.

Next steps

  • • Review formulation ranges against more real recipes.
  • • Improve print/mobile layout and saved-recipe comparison.
  • • Add more ingredient profiles with source notes and cautions.

Product idea

Gelato Recipe Generator is a focused formulation tool for gelato and sorbet recipes. It turns ingredient choices, usage percentages, sweetness targets, softness targets, and base strategies into a structured recipe with weights, metrics, warnings, and assumptions.

The project is deliberately tool-first: the interface helps a maker reason about water, sugar, solids, fat, PAC, POD, serving texture, and risk rather than only producing a decorative recipe card.

Current progress

The core builder is usable. It supports gelato and sorbet modes, ingredient search and filtering, saved recipes, JSON/CSV export, print output, and confidence labels for ingredient data.

The current stage is polishing formula quality, improving mobile and print presentation, and expanding the ingredient profile database without hiding uncertainty.

Engineering focus

  • Keep formulation logic testable and separate from UI state.
  • Make assumptions and warnings visible so the tool remains trustworthy.
  • Support saved recipes locally without requiring an account.
  • Preserve exportable recipe data for downstream review and iteration.
