Step-by-step recipe costing

To add an ingredient to the recipe tap "add ingredient". In the new window that appears select an ingredient you entered previously or create a new one by tapping "Create an ingredient" at the bottom of the screen.
Once the ingredient has been added to the recipe specify the amount and unit for the newly added ingredient in the recipe view.
If no pricing information is available for the recipe ingredient then you will see a red "Resolve" button. Tap on the button and select the option to enter the price for the ingredient. In a new window that appears you can select an existing purveyor who supplies this ingredient or create a new purveyor by tapping on "Create a purveyor" at the bottom of the screen. Upon selecting a purveyor enter the price per some amount of the new ingredient from this purveyor.
