HOW TO — collect, edit or delete recipes in your Recipe Binder.

_______

Recipe Binder allows you to collect as many recipes as you like, and to organise them into an unlimited number of categories, according to your tastes and preferences. E.g. 'Spaghetti al Frutti di Mare' can be assigned to the categories Pasta, Sea Fruit, Mussels, Shrimps etc. 

NOTE: Every recipe needs to be assigned to at least one category. So if you didn't create any categories yet, or if you want to add a recipe that doesn't fit one of your existing categories, first create a new category.

A typical recipe in Recipe Binder contains

• A cover photo of the dish

• A photo of the recipe (description & ingredients)

• An overview of the categories the recipe is assigned to

Next to that, you can add

• Personal notes

• A link to a recipe webpage (URL)
