How to import recipes from Pinterest

Quick answer: Open the Pin, tap Share → More apps… → CookBook, then choose Save to CookBook or Edit recipe. CookBook follows the link behind the Pin and imports the recipe from its original website.

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

Find a recipe on Pinterest you'd like to import
Tap the Share button
Swipe the app icons to the end and tap More apps..
Pick CookBook in the app list.

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

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

Pins usually point to a blog or recipe site - CookBook grabs the full recipe from that page.
If the link is broken, copy the Pin’s URL and paste it into CookBook’s dashboard; the importer will still try to fetch the recipe.
