What is the definition of a standard recipe?

A standard recipe has been tested, proven and researched before being published. It includes the appropriate quantities and brand qualities required for the particular dish that the user wishes to make. These recipes also procure a particular consistency and method that is used as a main base for similar dishes.

Standard recipes are often used as a base only for new dishes and creative alternatives for the recipe itself. These alternate versions may include vegan or gluten-free options, or they may use different flavors and products to create original recipes. Using a standard recipe helps maintain cost control for the ingredients.
