The Recipe Book is automatically organized by Course, but you can use search, filters, and sorting to find and reorder your recipes.
Search bar
Perform a simple keyword search with the search bar at the top of the Cook tab. Search matches recipe titles, descriptions, ingredients, directions, source, or tags.
Filters
Use the Filter panel to narrow down your recipes by category, or change how your Recipe Book is sorted.
Tap the Filter icon to the right of the search bar.
Choose a tab across the top: Sort By, Courses, Cuisines, Main Ingredient, Tags, and more.
Under Sort By, select how you'd like your Recipe Book ordered: Course (default), Cuisine, Main Ingredient, Tag, Title, Rating, Total Time, Times Planned, Has Photo, or Recently Added.
To set a sort order as your default, tap Make Default to the right of your chosen option. Your Recipe Book will open sorted this way going forward.
Under a category tab, select one or more options to filter your recipes.
Tap the checkmark in the upper right to apply your selections.
To exit, tap the X to clear your search and filters.
Select more than one filter to narrow your results further. With each added filter, your recipe list becomes more specific:
Selecting filters across different categories (like a Course and a Tag) shows recipes matching all of your criteria. For example, Main Course + Paleo shows recipes that are both.
Selecting multiple filters within the same category shows recipes matching any of them. For example, selecting both Paleo and Beef tags shows recipes with either tag.
If you navigate to the Plan or Shop tab and come back to Cook, your search and filters will still be applied.
ℹ️ An important filter to know about is Recipe Status, which lets you see Deleted recipes, Draft recipes, and recipes missing a photo.
