Determine How Much Food To Buy in Seconds!
Simply select one of The Book of Yields' 900 REAL foods…through an instant search!
Then enter your AS-SERVED amount (trimmed and/or cooked…or a volume equivalent or count).

The Book of Yields will instantly compute the correct AS-PURCHASED raw weight, volume or count amount to purchase!

Plus it will compile and print your purchase list or export it to a spreadsheet!

Simplify Your Food Costing
The Book of Yields contains the exact information you need to efficiently enter food items into ANY inventory or recipe-costing program…using measures that make your recipes easy to follow!

All recipe-costing software programs ask you to state how many Recipe Units (Tablespoons, Cups, Pints, Counts) are in a Purchase Unit. For instance, you buy dry herbs, seasonings, rices, flours, etc. by the Pound or Ounce. But if you want to use them by Tablespoons or Cups, you have to weigh out these foods to see how many Tablespoons are in an ounce or how many ounces are in a Cup or Pint. (Remember, very very few foods weigh 8 ounces per Cup… not even water!)

The Book of Yields will save you WEEKS of kitchen testing!

PotOr, maybe you want to use Recipe Ingredient Units that say Cups of Trimmed and Diced vegetables, lettuce or fresh herbs by the Leaf, meats by the Trimmed Ounce (or Trimmed AND Cooked). The Book of Yields puts all this information at your fingertips!

Using The Book of Yields, you can easily convert your purchase units from weights to volumes and from raw to trimmed foods. That means you can use ingredient measures of any kind and be able to cost them efficiently. So, your recipes will be easier to follow and still be accurately costed!

The Book of Yields is used by leading restaurant chains, hospitals, colleges, culinary schools, casinos, hotels, clubs, contract caterers and military food service facilities. It is award-winning software that, in its print format, is used as a text to teach Food Costing, Purchasing and Kitchen Math in leading Culinary Academies.

The Book of Yields contains over 900 REAL foods frequently used in Food Service operations (not fillers like baby formulas, pre-portioned foods, sodas or candy bars). You can add your own foods too!

  • Herbs & Spices
  • Vegetables & Fruit
  • Bakery items
  • Meats, Seafood & Poultry
  • Pastas, Rice & Grains
