SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECIPE PROGRAM GENERATION TO CONTROL ONE OR MORE MULTI-FUNCTION COOKING APPARATUSES

Control system (100), method and computer program product for partitioning machine readable recipe programs (300) to control one or more multi-function cooking apparatuses (201, 202) for processing one or more food products. The system has a recipe program interface (120) configured to receive, from a storage component (400), one or more separate recipe programs (300) for preparing one or more food products; a partitioning module (131) configured to identify, in accordance with predefined partitioning rules (150), sub-sets of recipe program instructions in the one or more recipe programs (300) wherein a first sub-set includes recipe program instructions for executing food processing steps with compatible ingredient information at temperatures below a predefined temperature threshold, and a second sub-set includes recipe program instructions for executing food processing steps with compatible ingredient information at temperatures equal to or above the predefined temperature threshold; a generator module (132) configured to generate a combined recipe program (300c) having at least a first partition (301) comprising the at least first sub-set, and has at least a second partition (302) comprising the at least second sub-set; and the recipe program interface (120) further configured to provide the first and second partitions (301, 302) to the one or more multi-function cooking apparatuses (201, 202) for execution.
