The Ingredient Form is the point in the program where all ingredient creation, modification and deletion takes place. It is divided into two major sections. To the left of the window is the browser pane. To the right are eight tabbed sub-forms (or pages). Each sub-form lets you view or edit a different aspect of an individual ingredient's properties.
