Use Google Sheets to store your Recipes to automatically change Batch Sizes and Recipe Amount by Weight

Your very own Google Sheets Recipe Template

For my culture, the Christmas season has come. With it comes all the delightful homemade goodies and snacks you get for over the Christmas season.

I do like to cook and over the years I have either inherited or discovered some great recipes. However, one of the problems I often face is that I need to be able to change the batch size or total ingredient weight of my recipe for when it is just me and Mrs Yagi or when I am hosting a bunch of people for a Christmas party.

So rather than try and calculate the changes each time, I put our recipes into a Google Sheet and set it up so that I could plug in a number of batches or a total ingredient weight and then head out and do my shopping accordingly.
