It would be awesome if I could, within the BigOven client, select a recipe or a group of recipes (marked recipes, for example) and save them to a MENU. This menu would also have generous space for notes (like timing, wine pairings, reflections on the success, etc). The existnig MENUs would be accessible from the left-side pane under VIEWS. The MENU itself could have SCALING functionality... So, for example, if I have 6 recipes in my MENU I could apply scaling to the MENU (as opposed to the individual recipes) and it would apply that scaling to all the recipes in the MENU.
Once a menu is created, it could be dragged-and-dropped onto the calendar, the shopping list, printing, and anywhere else, just like a single recipe. These menus could optionally be uploaded to BigOven as a public menu.
I would use this function because I create menus for dinner parties and would like to have a single source for storing the menus, wine suggestions, and thoughts, and BigOven is the ideal place for that. The more I think about this idea, the more I like it! I hope you'll consider it for inclusion in the upcoming version.
