Save a recipe from chat
When Cook Well AI writes you a recipe, save it to your cookbook to edit it, plan it and shop for it.
Updated November 12, 2026
Ask Cook Well AI to write a recipe, or paste one in and ask it to turn it into a recipe card. The recipe shows up as a card in the chat.
- Tap the recipe card to open it.
- Tap Add to My Recipes.
- Check the recipe over, change anything you like, then tap Add.
- Choose the recipe card to open it.
- Choose Add to Custom Recipes.
- Check the recipe over, change anything you like, then choose Save.
It's saved to My Recipes in your cookbook. From there you can add it to your planner or a grocery list, like any other recipe. See Write your own recipe.
Until you save it, a recipe card lives only in that chat. You can't add it to your planner or a grocery list until it's saved.
