Family recipes worth repeating.
The pitta pizzas everyone asks for. That soup with the extra lemon. Save the dishes your family actually makes, so the next dinner starts with something familiar.
Genuine Recipes tab view from an earlier branded app build; not a current Lerra screen or a meal plan.
A recipe is more useful when everyone can find it.
Recipes tend to live in browser tabs, old messages and the notebook with the missing cover. Bring the ones you want to keep into your family space, with the ingredients and method together.
Add servings and duration to make choosing easier. It is a small difference, but it matters on the evenings when everyone is hungry and there is not much time to decide.
The good meals can come back around.
Keep the practical details close, from the first look at a recipe to the shopping trip.
Save the whole idea
Keep ingredients, method, servings and duration with a recipe instead of relying on a half-remembered version.
Choose for tonight
Look back through the dishes your family already knows before deciding what sounds good.
Take it to the shop
Add recipe ingredients to a shared shopping list so somebody else can pick them up, too.
A recipe to cook from, not just a name on a plan.
When a familiar dinner is requested again, the useful part is knowing how to make it and what to buy.
- Ingredients
- Pittas, tomato sauce, cheese and whichever toppings your family likes.
- Method
- Spread, top and bake until the edges are crisp. The real saved recipe holds your own steps.
Keep the details together
A saved recipe has ingredients, method, servings and duration. That makes it easier for someone else in the household to make the dish, not just remember its name.
Then take the ingredients with you
Add ingredients to a shared shopping list before somebody heads to the shop. Choosing when to eat the dish is a separate job for meal planning; the Recipes tab is your collection, not the schedule.
Recipes are the ideas. Meal planning is the schedule.
A saved recipe gives you a way to make a dish again. Planning when to eat it belongs in Meals. Keep both close without confusing the recipe collection for a meal plan.
