What you can edit
Basic details
- Title: The name of the recipe.
- Description: A short description or note about the dish.
- Cuisine: e.g. Italian, Thai, Mexican.
- Servings: The number of servings the recipe makes. Ingredient quantities scale when you adjust servings.
- Prep time and Cook time: In minutes.
- Tags: Used for searching and meal planning. Every recipe should have at least one meal-type tag (dinner, lunch, breakfast, snack, or dessert).
Ingredients
- Tap an ingredient to edit its name, quantity, unit, and notes.
- Swipe left to delete an ingredient.
- Tap Add Ingredient to add a new one.
- The ingredient name should be what you'd see on a shopping list (e.g. "plain flour"). Any extra detail goes in the note field (e.g. "sifted", "at room temperature").
Steps
- Tap a step to edit its text.
- Reorder steps by dragging the handle on the right.
- Swipe left to delete a step.
Photos
- Add photos from your camera or photo library.
- Drag photos to reorder them. The first photo is the cover image.
AI-generated photos
Tap Generate Photo (or Regenerate Photo if one already exists) to create a photo using AI.
Before generation starts, you'll be prompted to provide optional image guidance — a short description of how you'd like the photo to look. For example:
- "Show the pie cut open with the shredded chicken filling visible"
- "Plated on a white dish with a side salad"
- "Close-up of the sauce being poured over the pasta"
This guidance is saved with the recipe, so if you regenerate the photo later, the same guidance is used by default. You can update or clear it at any time.
If you leave the guidance blank, the image is generated from the recipe title and ingredients alone.
