You can add recipes in four ways. Tap the New Recipe button (the + button in the center of the tab bar):
• Add Manually – Opens a blank recipe form. Enter the title, ingredients, instructions, and other details yourself.
• Import URL (Magic Import) – Paste any recipe URL. eten will scrape the page and fill in the recipe for you.
• Copy from Notes – Copy your recipe text in the Notes app first, then tap Add → Paste from Notes. eten will parse the text and create a recipe.
• Take a Picture – Opens the camera. Take a photo of a recipe (e.g., from a card or cookbook page). eten uses OCR to extract the text and pre-fills the recipe form.
Collections (folders): On the Folders tab, press and hold a collection folder for about half a second. Edit mode will activate. Select the collection(s) you want to delete, then tap the delete action. You can choose "Delete Collection Only" (keeps recipes) or "Delete All Recipes in Collection."
Recipes: On the Recipes tab (or inside a collection), press and hold a recipe card for about half a second. Edit mode will activate. Select the recipe(s) you want to delete, then tap the delete action.
The Discover tab is the second tab (magnifying glass icon). It includes:
• Search bar: Type a recipe search and submit to open a Google recipe search in an in-app browser.
• Featured feed: "Featuring: Woks of Life" shows recipe cards. Tap a card to open the recipe page in the in-app browser.
Import Recipe button: While viewing a recipe page in the browser, tap Import Recipe in the top-right header. eten will scrape the current page and save the recipe to your cookbook.
