Getting Started with the MyRecipes App
Where is the MyRecipes app available?
At launch, the MyRecipes app will only be available in the United States. We are actively working to expand availability to additional countries for future versions of the app.
In the meantime, you can continue to enjoy MyRecipes on the web at MyRecipes.com
What recipes can I save?
You can save recipes from thousands of your favorite food websites, including trusted brands like Allrecipes, EatingWell, Food & Wine, Serious Eats, Southern Living, Simply Recipes, Better Homes & Gardens, Real Simple, The Spruce Eats, Liquor.com, and many more.
And now MyRecipes+ members can also save recipe posts from Instagram and TikTok. Simply share a food post to the MyRecipes app, and MyRecipes will turn it into a recipe you can save, organize, and cook from.
How do I save a recipe?
To save any recipe, tap the heart icon. Your recipe will instantly be saved to your Saves.
Can I still view the original?
Absolutely. You can always visit the original recipe to read the author's notes, comments, and any additional content available on the publisher's website. The same is true for recipes linked to posts from social media, your version of the recipe always contains a link back to the original.
Can I edit a recipe?
You can edit your saved recipes from Instagram and TikTok. To edit, select the recipe in the app and tap three dots in the lower right corner. You will see the option to Edit. Tap Edit and select the recipe field you want to update.
Can I add my own recipes?
Not currently but we are planning on adding this feature to a future version of the app.
Where can I find my saved recipes?
The easiest way to browse your saved recipes is to tap Saves in the app. There you will find your most recently saved recipes along with any others you have saved in the past. You will also see all of your collections.
Can I search all of my saved recipes?
The MyRecipes app lets you search across more than 100,000 recipes from Allrecipes, EatingWell, Southern Living, Serious Eats, Food & Wine, Simply Recipes, Spruce Eats, Better Homes & Gardens, Real Simple, and Liquor.com. It also breaks out all your results so you can narrow them to only recipes you have already saved. Please note that recipes saved from Instagram, TikTok and our supported sites are not currently searchable. We are actively working on updating this for a future version of the app.
How do I delete a recipe?
For recipes saved from Instagram and TikTok, open the recipe and tap the three dots. Tap Edit and scroll to the bottom of the screen. Then tap Delete Recipe.
For recipes that have been saved from our supported sites , open the recipe and tap the three dots. Then tap Remove Recipe.
Can I organize recipes into collections?
Yes. The MyRecipes app makes it easy to organize your recipes into custom collections that fit the way you cook.
How do I create a collection?
There are two different ways to create collections. When saving a new recipe you will be asked if you’d like to add it to a collection. You can either add it to an existing collection or you can choose Create Collection, which will open a New Collection that you can name and add a brief description to. (If you do not want to add the saved recipe to a collection, simply tap Done.)
You can also go directly into your Saves and tap New Collection. From there, you can name and add a brief description to your newly created collection.
Why does my screen blur when I add a recipe to a collection?
If you’re noticing your screen blur when adding a recipe, go into your device’s Settings and choose Accessibility. Find Display & Text Size and toggle Reduce Transparency to the “on” position.
