Saving new recipes from recipe sites online is one of the core functions of the Simple Recipe app. There are three different ways to add a new recipe to the app.
How To Add A Recipe From A Website Link
Recipes can be imported from any recipe website. The app is able to successfully parse over 95% of all recipe sites, and the number of sites we can successfully pull from increases by the day.
- Open the recipe you want to add in your mobile browser
- Copy the URL for the recipe
- Open the Simple Recipe app and press the blue plus icon at the bottom right of the screen in the recipe view.
- Select “Recipe” to add a new recipe
- Paste the URL into the URL input box
- Press the “Fetch From URL” button
- Make any edits you’d like to make to the recipe and then click the “Add” button to save the recipe
Occasionally, we may not be able to fully parse all of the ingredients or steps correctly. If the recipe didn’t import correctly, you can press the “Let Us Know” link at the bottom of the edit screen to report an issue.
How To Add A Recipe Using The Share Shortcut
The share shortcut is the fastest way to save new recipes to the app.
- Open the recipe you want to add in your mobile browser
- Tap the share icon to open up sharing options
- Scroll and find Simple Recipe
- Tap Simple Recipe, and the app will open up with the parsed recipe
- Make any edits you’d like to make to the recipe and then click the “Add” button to save the recipe
