Find and Search Recipes

Search your recipes​

  1. Open Clever Cupboard and go to the Recipes tab.
  2. Tap the search field.
  3. Type a recipe name or a category.

Clever Cupboard matches your search against the recipe title and its category, so a search like "chicken" finds both recipes titled "chicken" and recipes categorized under it.

Cookbook screen filtered to chicken recipes with recipe cards in the results.
Search and cookbook filters narrow the recipe cards shown in the Recipes tab.

Filter by section​

Recipes can also be filtered by cookbook section and subsection, so you can browse a slice of your library — like a single meal type — instead of scrolling the whole list.

  1. Go to the Recipes tab.
  2. Open the filter control above the recipe list.
  3. Choose a section (and subsection, if shown).

Use the cookbook selector to choose a chapter and then narrow to a section.
Cookbook selector with Main Dishes and Chicken selected.
The selected chapter and section are highlighted before you return to the filtered cookbook.

What happens next​

The recipe list narrows to what matches your search or filter. Clear the search field or filter to see your full library again.
