There are several ways to add recipes to your Plan to Eat account from the mobile app. Pick whichever fits the recipe you're working with: a short video, a photo, a website, or one from your own kitchen.

Scan a photo of a recipe

The import begins automatically once a photo is selected.
ℹ️ If a recipe spans multiple pages, you can select more than one image. You can't import multiple recipes at once by selecting multiple images.
Import from a recipe URL

Add a recipe manually
From the Cook tab, tap + Add Recipe.

Paste Recipe Text. Paste the entire recipe at once, and Plan to Eat separates it into sections for you.
Add by hand. Enter each part of the recipe into its own field.
Tap Save when you're finished.
ℹ️ A recipe only needs a title to be saved. That means you can start a recipe and finish it later, or save a recipe with no ingredients or directions just so you can plan it on your Planner.
Tips for manual entry
Use the Bulk Input field in the Ingredients section to paste ingredients quickly. Each ingredient needs to be on its own line.
Add a section heading by placing a colon (:) after the heading text.
Use your device's built-in dictation to speak recipe details into each field.
