Resort Chef will then display the Ingredient dialog. The dialog will contain all of the information of the ingredient you originally selected.
| 4. | Make whatever changes you wish to the ingredient details and click the OK button to save those changes. See the topic titled Ingredient dialog for more information on filling out an ingredient's details. |
NOTE: Each ingredient within a Resort Chef database must have a unique name. If you attempt to create a new ingredient (by copying from an already existing ingredient), you must change the name of the new ingredient before the program will let you save it.
