Add Your First Recipe

There are a few ways to add a recipe to Clever Cupboard. Pick whichever matches where your recipe already lives.

Ways to add a recipe​

  • Recipe website link — paste a link from a recipe website.
  • Recipe photo — take or choose a photo of a printed recipe or recipe card.
  • Social media post — share a recipe post to Clever Cupboard from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Pinterest.
  • Manual entry — type the recipe in yourself.

For links, photos, and social posts, see Import a Recipe for the full steps.

Steps: add a recipe manually​

This is a good choice for family recipes you already know by heart.

  2. Tap Add Recipe.
  3. Choose to create a recipe manually.
  4. Enter the recipe name, ingredients, and instructions.
  5. Tap Save Recipe.
Add Recipe menu showing Import and Manual options.
Choose Import for recipes from links, photos, or social posts, or Manual when you want to type the recipe yourself.
