Recipe Book

Tap New recipe and fill in the details: title, optional description, servings, prep time, and cook time. Upload a photo to make the card easy to recognise at a glance.

Add ingredients one at a time — enter the name, quantity, and unit for each. Drag ingredients to reorder them.

Add steps in order, one instruction per step. Steps are numbered automatically and can be reordered by dragging.

Assign one or more tags to a recipe (for example: Dinner, Vegetarian, Quick). Tags appear as filter chips above the recipe grid. Selecting multiple tags narrows results to recipes that match all selected tags, making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for.

Type in the search box at the top of the Recipes page to filter by title. Search is live — results update as you type. Combine search with tag filters to narrow results further.

Toggle Private when creating or editing a recipe to keep it visible only to you. Private recipes are not shown to other family members and cannot be added to the Meal Planner by anyone else.

Open a recipe card and tap the edit icon to update any field — title, photo, ingredients, steps, or tags. To delete a recipe, open it and choose Delete from the options menu. Deletion is permanent and will remove the recipe from any future meal plan slots it was assigned to.

On any recipe, tap Add to List to append all ingredients to an existing list or create a new one. This is most powerful when used from the Meal Planner, which aggregates ingredients from every recipe in your weekly plan in one tap.
