Why can't I see the full recipe?

We encourage you to only add books to your shelf that you own or have access to, so that you can cook from the real book, not from your phone. CookShelf is meant to help you unlock your physical books by making it easy to search and discover recipes, so that you can open the book to the right page and get cooking.

We also will always respect creators' copyrighted material, which includes the full method of the recipe and its headnotes.

Where there is an authorized online recipe version of a book recipe, we'll also link to that so you can read it when you're away from your books.
