Save a recipe from a website
Recipe sites are the best case: most of them publish a structured block that spells out the ingredients and the steps. Paste the link and you get the recipe, not the essay in front of it.
What gets read, and how
Most recipe sites publish a schema.org recipe block alongside the page — the same thing that makes a recipe show up with a picture and a cooking time in Google. It names the ingredients, the steps, the cuisine, the prep and cook times and the yield, and that is exactly what lands on the item.
Times come across in whatever notation the site uses and end up as plain minutes. Servings likewise. If a site publishes only some of it, you get the parts it publishes.
And when the site publishes nothing
Then it falls back on the preview information every page has: the title and the sharing image. You keep a working item with a picture and a link, and you fill in the rest if you care to.
It never fails and never blocks. A blog with a broken layout, a page behind a cookie wall, a site that has been dead for years — paste it and something is kept.

Finding it back later
Searching covers everything on an item: the title, the ingredients, the steps, the cuisine, the city, your notes and your own tags. So you can look for what you remember, which is rarely the title.
On top of that: filter by recipe or place, by want-to-try or done, by cuisine, by city, by collection or by tag. Those filters are built from your own library, so they only ever show what you actually have.
And when you have made it
One tap marks a recipe cooked or a place visited. A score and a note are optional, and a repeat is a new entry rather than an overwrite — the second time you make something is information too.
Out of that, and nothing else, a taste profile builds up: your cuisines, your cities, your recurring occasions. Counted from what you did, not guessed at.
Questions
- Which sites work best?
- Anything that publishes a proper recipe block — most supermarket sites, the big Dutch recipe sites, and the majority of food blogs on WordPress recipe plugins.
- The ingredients came in wrong.
- Edit them — the field is yours. There is also a refresh that re-reads the source, and it only touches fields you left empty.
- Is the whole page stored?
- No — the fields and the image, not a copy of the page. If the site disappears you keep the recipe as it landed on the item.
A save never fails: the link, the title and the image are guaranteed, and everything on top of that is a bonus you can correct.
