What's in your cookbook

Your cookbook keeps every recipe you've saved, written or imported, in one place you can search.

Updated November 12, 2026

Your cookbook is where everything you save lands: recipes you've favorited, put in a folder, written, imported or made your own version of. On your phone it's the Cookbook tab. On the web it's Cookbook in the sidebar.

Search your cookbook

Use the search bar at the top of the cookbook. It looks through titles, descriptions and the notes on your own recipes. On the web, search is at the top of All. Search in the sidebar, or ⌘K, can search just your cookbook too.

Add to your cookbook

Tap + at the top of the cookbook (top left on iPhone, top right on Android) to write a recipe, import one or make a folder. On the web, use New recipe in My recipes, or New folder.

In a household

You share one cookbook: favorites, folders, your own recipes and variations. If one of you favorites a recipe, it's a favorite for both of you. Your cooking history stays your own. See What's shared and what stays yours.
