Ingredient icons

Ingredients can have an icon. It shows:

  • beside the ingredient lines on a recipe
  • in the recipe editor, once a line matches an ingredient
  • on the grocery list, on desktop
  • in the Pantry
  • on the Ingredients page and in an ingredient's panel

Which icon shows

  1. The ingredient's own icon, uploaded or generated.
  2. The built-in icon. Norish ships icons for the foods in its starting catalogue.
  3. The parent's icon, so "red onion" shows the onion.

Setting an icon

Open the ingredient on the Ingredients page, or anywhere its panel opens, and click its icon:

  • Upload a picture takes or uploads a photo. Norish removes the background when it can.
  • Generate with AI draws one with your server's image provider. Brands are never drawn.
  • Remove icon removes it.

Drawing many at once

Draw icons at the top of the Ingredients page draws missing icons for:

  • Only foods with no icon at all, the default. Foods that show their parent's icon are skipped.
  • Every food without its own icon, which also draws foods that show a built-in or parent icon.

Hiding icons

Turn icons off under Settings => User => Hidden items => Ingredient icons. See Hidden Items.
