Prep Notes let you add preparation reminders to a recipe, anywhere from the day you're making the recipe up to 31 days ahead. Once added, prep notes appear on your Planner and can be edited, removed, or dragged and dropped to a different day.
Adding Prep Notes
Open the recipe and scroll to the Prep Notes section.
Tap the + icon.
Use the - and + buttons to set how many days ahead the note should appear (for example, "1 day before").
Type your note in the text field.
To add another note, tap + Add Another Prep Note.
Tap the checkmark in the upper right to save.
To delete a prep note, tap the trashcan icon next to it.
Multiple prep notes are listed in the order in which they occur.
Prep Notes on your Planner
When a recipe with Prep Notes is added to the Planner, the notes appear in the Notes section on their corresponding days. The preparation instructions appear in bold, with the recipe title and date below.
Prep notes are connected to their recipe unless you edit or move the note directly on the Planner. After modifying a planned prep note, it will not automatically move if you later move the planned recipe.
Prep Notes in your calendar feed
Prep Notes added to a recipe will also show up in your subscribed calendar feeds. If your Planner is shared with another calendar app, you'll see your planned recipes, ingredients, and notes there too, including prep notes. Prep notes appear as an all-day event on their specified date so you don't forget about them.
