Quick answer: On any Facebook post, tap Share → More… → CookBook. Choose Save to CookBook to store it instantly or Edit recipe to tweak tags, notes, or nutrition first. CookBook pulls the recipe from the caption - or follows any link in the post if the caption is empty.

How to import from Facebook (step-by-step)

1. Find a recipe on Facebook you'd like to import
2. Tap the Share button
3. Swipe the app icons to the end and tap More..
4. Pick CookBook in the app list.

• Don’t see it? Add CookBook to your share sheet: see iOS Guide and Android Guide.

5. Choose:

• Save to CookBook: Saves the recipe immediately without opening the CookBook app.
• Edit recipe: opens CookBook so you can add tags, change servings, or upload photos before saving.

Quick tips

• Caption first: Works best when the full recipe is written in the post caption or a first comment.
• No caption? CookBook looks for a website link in the post and tries to import from there.
• Copy-link fallback: Copy the video URL → open CookBook → tap Paste on the dashboard → Confirm.
