I had a bit of fun with the tool and got this result:

Recipe Conversion for your Bad Recipe :P
 
6 Cups (6.00) Bread Flour
9 Cups (9.00) Rye Flour
1 Tbsp (0.06) Heavy Cream
84 1/2 Cups (84.53) Zucchini, Grated
Nutritional Information

Calories: 31.46
Total Fat:2.83g
Saturated Fat: 0.01g
Cholestrol: 0.00mg
Calories from Fat: 4.73
Carbohydrates: 4.91g
Protein: 1.74g

252 servings (11,360.89 grams)
*Nutritional information based on 45 gram servings

 

Smart tool ... it may not be anything I would actually use but at least it figured out that this is a BAD recipe (though it didn't tell me why - not that I didn't know). On the other hand it didn't seem to take account of the 3 litres of cream of tartar I chose as a leavener! I have no idea what size serving (unless I do my own math with the # of servings in x # of grams) is but hey apparently it is only 31.46 calories per - so (aside from the fact this would be totally unpalatable anyway) it is great diet food (for a carb based food) I would say. :)

 

What does it do with the information one might put in for hydration? Just for fun, I told it 125% hydration (but why am I asked to then give that a 'measurement' as well?) but that wasn't even a possible 'request'/desire given that I only told it 1 Tbsp of heavy cream and no other liquid (although I guess if one doesn't drain the zucchini after grating that might be a bit more of unspecified liquid-ity.

 

As to how I create recipes, that mostly happens through evolution (making a similar dish many times over the years, often when I don't have all the ingredients on hand) or sometimes I read a lot of cookbooks for 'ideas' and basics and then (without a specific recipe in front of me) I just start dumping into a bowl till the mixture or whatever seems the right texture (and I taste as I go along too - even at the raw stage if that is safe). Yes, I fail sometimes (but that is how I learn) but I have far more successes. Unfortunately though I rarely make exactly the same thing twice.
