Make your own variation

A variation is your own copy of a Cook Well recipe or framework that you can change. It's especially handy for frameworks: pick the ingredients you actually use, name it, and it's ready to plan and shop for.

Make a variation on your phone

1. Open a recipe or framework. On a framework, tap Create Your Variation. On a recipe, tap ⋯, then Create Your Variation.
2. Tap the ingredients you want, and add any that are missing. Tap Next.
3. Name it, add a photo and any notes, then tap Create.

Make a variation with Cook Well AI

On the phone or the web, open Ask Cook Well on a recipe and tell it what you'd change, like “make it dairy-free”. When it writes up your version, open the card and choose Save as Variation. See Ask about a recipe.

Find your variations

• Phone: Cookbook → Variations. They also show under Your Variations on the original recipe.
• Web: Cookbook → My recipes, then Variation.

Each variation links back to the recipe it came from, under Based on on your phone or View original on the web.

Edit or delete a variation like any recipe of your own. See Write your own recipe.
