Quick answer: Open the Reddit post, tap Share → More… → CookBook, then choose Save or Edit recipe. CookBook pulls the recipe from the post text or any linked site.

Import a recipe from Reddit

1. Open the Reddit post that contains the recipe.
2. Tap Share
3. Tap More….
4. Choose CookBook from the list of apps.

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

5. Select one:

• Save to CookBook – saves instantly without opening the app.
• Edit recipe – opens CookBook so you can adjust tags, notes, etc. before saving.

Quick tips for better results

• Post first: Imports work best when the full recipe is written in the post text or a top-level comment.
• If no text recipe is found, CookBook follows any link in the post and tries to import from that page.
• Copy-link fallback: Copy the post URL → open CookBook → tap Paste on the dashboard → Confirm.
