Favorites and folders
Heart a recipe to keep it in Favorites, or sort recipes into folders of your own.
Updated November 12, 2026
Favorite a recipe
Tap the heart at the top of a recipe. Tap it again to take it out of Favorites.
You can also tap ⋯ on a recipe card, then Add to Favorites.
Choose Favorite under the recipe's title. It changes to Favorited. Choose it again to take it out.
In Favorites, you can also choose the heart on a recipe to remove it.
Put a recipe in a folder
- On a recipe, tap ⋯, then Save to Folder.
- Select the folders you want, or tap Create New Folder.
- Tap Done.
- On a recipe, choose Add to folder.
- Select the folders you want, or choose New folder.
A recipe can be in as many folders as you like. Your own recipes and variations can go in folders too.
Make, rename or delete a folder
- Make one: in the Cookbook tab, tap New Folder under Folders, name it, then tap Create.
- Rename or delete one: open the folder, tap ⋯, then Rename Folder or Delete Folder.
- Take a recipe out: in the folder, tap ⋯ on the recipe, then Remove from and the folder's name.
The same ⋯ menu sorts the folder and switches between a grid and a list.
- Make one: in Cookbook, choose New folder, name it, then choose Create.
- Rename one: open the folder and click its name.
- Delete one: open the folder, choose ⋯, then Delete folder.
- Take a recipe out: in the folder, choose Remove from folder on the recipe, then Remove.
Deleting a folder doesn't delete the recipes in it. Your own recipes stay in My Recipes, and favorites stay in Favorites.
