Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. You can write in any recipe yourself, like a family recipe or one you made up. It's saved to your Recipe box, only you can see it, and it appears when you search your shelf.

On the website: Go to My shelf and click + Add recipe. Only the title is required. Add the ingredients, method, and anything else you'd like.

In the app: On the Shelf tab, tap the +, then Add recipes, then Write it yourself. If you don't see it, update the app.

Editing or deleting: Open the recipe and click Edit on the website, or tap ⋯, then Edit recipe in the app. Deleting a recipe also removes any cooks and notes on it, and you can't undo it.

Recipes from Eat Your Books: Personal recipes you added there are already in your Recipe box. You can edit them to add the method or ingredient amounts.

Source: Right now, this is a free text box where you can type in a cookbook title, a magazine, or a website. We're working on ways to connect your recipes to the books they come from, and on more ways to add recipes.
