Cooking -- beYou Family Recipe Box

The beYou Family Recipe Box (pictured with a rezzed recipe) is a vital tool for beYou Citizens who allow others to cook using their kitchen.

This tool will allow people to add recipe ingredients to your (the kitchen owner’s) assets whether the owner of the kitchen is on or offline.

**VERY IMPORTANT**: The Family Recipe Box and the Cookbook included in your kitchen are **NOT** the same. You use the recipe box to load & check quantities of the kitchen owner's assets ONLY. You do **not** use this device for cooking.

## Requirements & Limitations

* The owner of the kitchen **must** own the family recipe box.
* The owner of the recipe box must have their own recipes.
* Anyone can use the family recipe box, regardless of whether or not they have been added to the kitchen owner's cookbook. You don't have to be in someone's family to use the recipe box.
* Only the **OWNER** of the kitchen can add recipes to their kitchen.
* Other users can **NOT** add recipes to the owner's kitchen. They must gift the recipe to the owner via the vendors.

The family recipe box does NOT allow you to add your recipes to someone else's kitchen. The owner of the kitchen must own the recipe box, the recipe and the assets for a recipe they own to be able to be cooked on their kitchen.

## Main Menu

To use the family recipe box, simply click and choose one of the following options:

* Select Recipe - The list of recipes visible is the same as your kitchen's cookbook. You can go through tiers of recipes that have been purchased and loaded. You will only see the recipes that the owner of the family recipe box owns, not every recipe in beYou. Once you select a recipe, the recipe card will rez in the box.
* Clear - Clears any rezzed notecards.
* Help - Sends you a help notecard with instructions on how to use the family recipe box.

### Recipe Options

After choosing "select recipe" a recipe card will appear that you or anyone else can then click the recipe card to perform one of the following options:

* Load - reloads previously loaded recipes & their contents into the owner’s kitchen, provided the kitchen is near the family recipe box. NOTE: if you have the family recipe box, there is no need to keep the original recipe cards in your inventory.
* List Assets - shows which ingredients are already in the kitchen owner’s assets.
* Give - allows anyone currently using the box to transfer ingredient(s) for the currently displayed recipe to the owner’s assets in uses of 2, 4, 8, and 10 from their own assets.
* Delete - deletes the card that is rezzed (this does not delete the card from the kitchen).

After completing these steps, sit on the stove/oven section of the kitchen and begin (or continue) cooking! See the BeYou Cooking wiki page for more information on how to cook if you haven’t done so already.

#### List Assets

While the list assets feature will show you what ingredients are required, it will not show you how many of each ingredient you need. It will state the ingredient and how much of the ingredient is in the kitchen owner's assets. For example:

```
Basic Cheddar Corn Chowder whispers: Owner's assets for this are: bY Corn Chowder Base Bowl(8),Heavy Cream(3),Shredded 3 Cheddar(1),beYou Celery(0),Dried Thyme(78),beYou Water(2449),Rounders Salted Crackers(3)

```

The number displayed is the amount that the owner has in their assets. Because the family recipe box doesn't break down servings, just overall assets, it will not tell you how many items you need; just what the owner has.

Rule of thumb: the serving sizes for recipes are 2, 4, 8 and 16. You need half of that amount to make each serving, unless an ingredient is used multiple times.

### Giving Assets to Kitchen Owner

**REMINDER**: The family recipe box must be owned by the same person who owns the kitchen!!

In order to cook a recipe on another person's stove, all assets for that recipe have to be in the kitchen owner's assets.

To give your assets to the owner of the kitchen you are using:

1. Click the kitchen owner's family recipe box.
2. Click 'select recipe'.
3. Continue through the cookbook categories and menus until you find your recipe. Once you've chosen the recipe you are going to cook, it will appear as a card sticking up just over the other cards.
4. Click the recipe card.
5. Choose 'list assets' to see what assets are needed.
6. Once you have the ingredients needed, choose 'give'.
7. Choose the ingredient you are giving to the kitchen owner and the quantity.
8. Continue repeating steps 6-7 until you are done passing ingredients to the kitchen owner.
9. When finished, click the recipe card and choose 'list assets' again to confirm you have all of the ingredients you need.
10. When finished, click delete.

The recipe card will disappear and you will be ready to cook using the kitchen owner's kitchen.

## Things to Remember

* The Family Recipe Box and the Cookbook included in your kitchen are **NOT** the same.
* The owner of the kitchen must also own the recipe box.
* You can NOT use the family recipe box to add recipes to someone's kitchen. Only the owner can add recipes to their kitchen.
* The recipe box is version controlled for future recipe releases.
* When you are finished using the recipe card for either cooking or transferring assets, click the delete button to derez the card and free up the box for the next user.
