2. Click "Add New".
   
   
   
   
   
3. Fill in the Serving Date and Feeding Figure fields. Select a School Type and Session from the drop-down menus provided. Select a School Group using the magnifying glass icon.
   
   
   
   
   
4. In the recipes table, click "Add Recipe" to add a new recipe to the table.
   
   
   
   
   
5. In the pop-up window that appears, use the search fields to locate the desired recipe, and click "Search".
   
   
   
   
   
6. Use the check-boxes in the left-hand column to select the desired recipe or recipes. Click "Use Selected Recipes" to add them to the list.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Click "Add Standard Menu" to add a standard menu's recipes to the table, if you have created a standard menu (you can create new standard menus in Menu Planning > Menus > Standard Menus).
   
   
   
   
   
8. In the pop-up window that appears, select the desired standard menu from the drop-down menu provided. Click "Save" to add that menu's recipes to the list.
