Create Recipes

Data science recipes describe all of the steps taken in a project from data ingestion to transformation to analysis. As you work in a session, your steps are recorded and can be saved as a recipe. The recipe can then be edited, replayed, and shared as needed.

In this chapter:

• Save a Recipe
• Save a Trimmed Recipe
• Save a Copy of a Recipe
• Tag and Describe a Recipe
