How do I calculate the total cost of my recipe?

Use the `calculate_recipe_total` tool. Provide a JSON array of ingredients, each containing its name, unit price, and the quantity used.

Can I see which ingredient is most expensive?

Yes, use the `get_cost_contribution_breakdown` tool. It will return a list showing the percentage of the total cost contributed by each ingredient.

How do I find out the cost per serving?

First, calculate the total recipe cost using `calculate_recipe_total`, then pass that result into the `calculate_serving_split` tool along with the number of portions.
