Frequently Asked Questions
A few practical answers about how Crafting Cookbook works today, from pantry tracking to pricing and cloud sync.
Is Crafting Cookbook free to use?
Yes. Crafting Cookbook is currently free to use while the product is in early access.
Do I need an account to use Crafting Cookbook?
No. You can explore the studio and work locally in your browser without signing in. If you create an account, your pantry, recipes, and workspace details can sync to the cloud.
What does the pantry track?
The pantry is where you keep your materials, components, and supplies together in one place. It stores quantities, on-hand amounts, and cost details so your recipes and pricing stay grounded in real inventory.
How does recipe pricing work?
Each recipe can include materials, waste, labor, packaging, fees, shipping subsidy, and overhead. Crafting Cookbook then helps you see make cost, pricing targets, and profit more clearly before you list or sell a product.
Will my recipes reflect new material costs?
Yes. When you log new purchases or update pantry cost details, Crafting Cookbook recalculates your blended material cost so your current pricing picture can change with it.
Can I save more than one recipe?
Yes. You can save multiple recipes, load them back into the studio, and duplicate them when you want to branch a product into a new variation.
What happens if I use the site without signing in?
Your work can still be saved locally in your browser so it survives refreshes on that device. Signing in adds cloud sync so your workspace is not limited to just one browser.
