SQLFORM(db.recipe) will create a form with all fields used in that database table. But if you want a form with only certain fields then you can use the "fields" argument. For example some of the fields may need to be calculated by you rather than entered manually by the user.
The "Fields" argument is not part of the API so will be ignored.
