While you cannot link two recipes, you can divide a recipe into different parts. This is especially helpful when your recipes call for different recipes within one recipe: marinade, sauce, frosting, etc.
You can either create a Header in the line-input format, or in the bulk input, you can add a comma before the heading, ie: ,Sauce
Line-Item Input Instructions:
- Open the "main" recipe and click the icon to edit the ingredients.
- Click the Add Header button at the bottom of the ingredients list.
- Update the Header wording and use the up/down arrows to the left to position the Header correctly.
- Add the ingredients for the second recipe, below the Header.
- Press Save.
Bulk Input Instructions:
- Open the "main" recipe and click the icon to edit the ingredients.
- Select the "Bulk Input" tab.
- On a new line, type in your recipe header with a comma in front. ie: ,Frosting
- Add the ingredients for the second recipe, below the Header (can be copy pasted in through bulk input).
- Press Save.
You may want to simply copy and paste the ingredients for your "sub" recipe into the "main" recipe that calls for it. This will allow you to keep both recipes in your recipe book, and also be able to use them together.
Additionally, you can use Menus to save a group of recipes to be planned together. You can save a Menu for a single mealtime, which is an alternative way to link recipes you'd like to plan simultaneously.
Learn more about the Menus feature.
Another possible solution is to link a recipe in the directions, ingredients, or description for reference. Note, the ingredients of the linked recipe will not be added to the "main" recipe through the link.
