### Create your first sub recipe

To get going, simply follow along to build your first sub-recipe in Apicbase. A sub-recipe is a recipe which you will need in other recipes. This could be a side-dish, a broth, a sauce,...

It's imperative that you have completed the previous course where we explained how to create a new recipe before you attempt to complete this.
