Help with Recipes

How do I upload my own recipes?

You can upload your own recipes, by clicking the "Add Recipe" bean on the left hand side of the page.

On the page that opens, click "Add an ingredient". This will open a search box where you can look up the ingredient you wish to add from our extensive food database. If you for example search for "Broccoli" you will get a list of ingredients related to broccoli and you can chose the one that best matches what you are looking for. You will then get the option to enter the quantity of that particular ingredient. You can keep adding all your recipe's ingredients from this box.

In the "about the recipe" field there is space for your description of the recipe, and the "instructions" field is where you let people know how to cook the recipe.

You can upload a photo of the recipe if you wish, chose what categories it fits in and whether you wish to share it with the other members or just keep it private in your own recipe book.

What is my recipe book?

Your recipe book is an area where you can keep your favourite recipes, whether you have uploaded them yourself or found recipes you like entered by other people.

You can add any recipe to your recipe book by clicking the "Add to recipe book" bean on the right hand side of the recipe. You can also remove recipes at any time by clicking the remove link on the right hand side.

How do I rate a recipe?

At the bottom of each recipe page, there is an option to rate the recipe on a scale from 1-5. You can also leave a comment about how you enjoyed the recipe if you wish.

How do I edit or detlete a recipe I have uploaded?

You can edit or delete your recipes at any time by clicking on the edit or delete beans on the right hand side of your recipe text.

Good Luck!
