Creating and editing recipes

Add Recipe opens the recipe form. Editing a recipe from its actions menu opens the same form.

  • Ingredients are free text, one per line, like 200 g spaghetti. Norish reads the amount and unit as you type.
  • Steps go one per row. Drag a row to reorder it.
  • Photos go on the recipe or on a step. A step can have several.

Headings with #

Start an ingredient or a step with # to make it a heading, like # For the sauce. Headings are not numbered as steps.

Type / and a recipe name in a step to link that recipe, for example a dough or a stock you keep as its own recipe. Readers tap the link to open it.

Step ingredients with @

Type @ in a step and pick an ingredient. The word goes into your sentence as plain text, and the ingredient shows as a chip under the step.

The Link ingredient picker under each step adds a chip without naming the ingredient in the text, so "add the spices" can carry all of them.

When the ingredient line has an amount, Norish asks how much this step uses. Type the number and press Enter, or press Escape to use the whole line.

Amount… on a chip changes it later: half, a third, a quarter, or an exact amount. On a line of five eggs, entering 3 makes the step read 3 eggs. Tap a chip to remove it.

See Step ingredients for how these show on the recipe.
