Adding a recipe
A recipe has a title (the only required field), an optional hero photo, description, servings, prep/cook time, difficulty (easy/medium/hard), cuisine, and tags, plus a list of ingredients (quantity, unit, name, note) and steps (text, with an optional photo per step). Uploaded photos are capped by the server’s image size limit — see Settings.
Cooking
- The servings control scales every ingredient quantity up or down — whole numbers, simple fractions (“1/2”), and mixed numbers (“1 1/2”) scale cleanly; anything else is left as-is rather than mangled
- Mark a recipe cooked to stamp it with today’s date and surface it under Recently Cooked
Organizing and finding a recipe
- Rate any recipe 1–5 stars, or favorite it
- Search by title from the search dialog
- On a shared install, a recipe’s detail panel shows Cooking Activity — which other profiles have cooked, rated, or favorited it
Removing a recipe
Deleting a recipe is admin-only — see Profiles & Access.
