2. How to Save Recipes from an Image in Flavorish

Saving recipes from an image with Flavorish is incredibly simple. Here’s how you can start building your own digital cookbook by uploading images of your favorite recipes.

1. Take a Picture of the Recipe or the dish

The first step is to snap a clear picture of your recipe or the dish you'd like to try. If the recipe is from a handwritten note, recipe card, or cookbook, take a photo that includes all the necessary details—ingredients, instructions, and any special notes or tips.

2. Upload the Image to Flavorish

Once you have your recipe image ready, it’s time to upload it to Flavorish.

• Open the Flavorish app or website.
• Tap the "+" and choose "Save recipe from image".
• Select either of the two options
  • "Take Photo" directly from your camera.
  • Or "Select an image" to upload your photo directly from your phone or device.
• Click "Save recipe".

3. Flavorish Does the Rest

Once you upload your image, Flavorish automatically extracts the recipe details — including ingredients, instructions, and any special notes — so you don’t have to type it all out manually.

4. Organize and Categorize

Once a recipe is saved, you can easily organize it into custom collections for quick access. Just click the tag icon at the top right corner of the recipe page and choose a collection to save it to. You can name collections by meal type, cuisine, occasion, or dietary preferences, whatever works best for you. This way, your recipes stay organized and easy to find whenever you need them.

3. How to Save Recipes from Online Websites to Flavorish

Flavorish makes it incredibly easy to import recipes from online websites. Whether you’re saving recipes individually or in bulk, the process is simple, quick, and flexible.

1. Share the URL Directly to Flavorish

Share recipe URLs directly from your browser or app to Flavorish, where the recipe will be automatically imported into your account. This is a hands-free approach for those who don’t want to manually copy and paste links.

Save Recipes by Sharing the URL:

• Find a recipe from your favorite creator, blog, or recipe website featuring a dish you'd like to make.

2. Copy and Paste the Recipe URL

The most straightforward method for recipe importing is copying and pasting the URL of a recipe you want to save. This is ideal for those who prefer to save just a few recipes at a time.

Save a Recipe Using the URL Link:

• Copy the URL of the Recipe: Visit the recipe site (e.g., AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, Epicurious etc.) and copy the URL of the recipe you want to import.
• Open Flavorish on your mobile app or website.
• Tap the '+' button and click 'Save Recipe Link' Feature in Flavorish.

4. Save a recipe from text

You can quickly turn any plain‑text recipe into a Flavorish recipe using the Save recipe from text option.

1. Tap the + button and choose Save recipe from text.
2. Paste your recipe text into Flavorish.
3. Flavorish will automatically separate it into ingredients, instructions, and (where possible) nutrition.
4. Save, and the recipe will be added to your Flavorish library.

Add a photo

1. Open the recipe.
2. Tap the three dots in the top‑right corner.

If tapping the image field doesn’t do anything, Flavorish may not have access to your photos. On iOS:

• Tap Photos
• Select Full Access

Once photo access is enabled, return to Flavorish and add the image again.

5. Bulk Import Recipes

If you’re someone who loves to save multiple recipes at once, Flavorish has a bulk import feature that allows you to quickly bring in a collection of recipes from multiple websites. This is perfect for meal prepping or creating a week’s worth of dinner ideas in one go.

Bulk Import Recipes:

• Tap the '+' button and click 'Save Recipe Link' Feature in Flavorish.

• Click ‘Save’ and Flavorish will process all the URLs at once, extracting the necessary information from each recipe (ingredients, instructions, images).
• Organize Your Recipe: Organize your recipes into custom collections for quick access. Click the tag icon on the top right corner of your recipe page and choose a collection to save the recipe to create your digital cookbook.
