What's in a recipe?

Find out how recipes are structured

Here's a summary of all the details you can find and edit in a recipe.

In the recipe detail screen, you can change the title, the meal type, number of servings, the prep time, cooking time, and chef.

NOTE: If you import a recipe from an internet site, the original internet URL is attributed. However, note that this will not appear in your end user apps.

You can also create category tags, which is a great way for your customers to search and find your recipes.

You can upload your own recipe image or create a new image of your recipe using AI.

In the description field, you can add text, images and also videos. We support many different video platforms including youtube, vimeo and also social networks such as Instagram and Tiktok.

You can use the preview feature to preview your recipe on a mobile emulator.

All recipes come with full nutrition information, at recipe level and also per ingredient.

All ingredients are editable, and you can use natural language to change ingredients easily, and also drag the position of the ingredient lines. Similarly for methods.

You can also add subheadings to ingredients and also methods.

Clicking into an ingredient line shows you what the Food Brain recognises, and there are also suggested alternatives displayed.

If ingredients are not fully understood, a yellow flag will be displayed. A yellow info icon needs to be checked as the Food Brain would have made a "best guess", but a yellow warning icon means an ingredient line cannot be understood and needs to be corrected.

See the next section to find out how to correct ingredients.
