Tags

AI suggests tags when you import a recipe, such as the meal, cuisine, diet or main ingredient. Your most used tags appear as chips across the top of Recipes. Tap one to filter, and tap a tag on any recipe page to jump to all recipes with it.

To add a tag, open the recipe and tap + Tag next to its tags. Type a new one and tap Add, or tap a suggestion: your own most used tags come first, then ideas like Family, Must Try and Meal Prep. Tap Done when you're finished. To remove a tag, tap the × on it. Changes save as you tap, and your capitalization is kept.

Tip: Make your own collections with tags: Weeknight, Meal Prep, Kids Love It, Holiday, Grandma's.

Download your cookbook

Your recipes are yours. At the bottom of Recipes, or under Your cookbook file in Account, choose JSON (for moving to another app) or Markdown (easy to read, print or paste into a document). Every recipe comes with its tags and source credit.
