How to Edit Your Recipe

When to edit a recipe

Recipes you create can be edited at any time, for example to fix a mistake or update ingredients and steps.

Steps to edit a recipe

1. Go to My Cookbook or your list of created recipes.
2. Open the recipe you want to change.
3. Select the option to edit the recipe.
4. Update any fields, such as title, description, times, servings, category, cuisine, difficulty or dietary labels.
5. Update the ingredients or steps as needed.
6. Replace the image if you want a different photo.
7. Save your changes.

Things to check after editing

• Confirm the updated recipe looks correct on its recipe page.
• Check that the visibility setting, public or private, is still what you want.
• Make sure the ingredient checklist and steps still make sense together.

If something goes wrong

• If your changes do not save, check that all required fields are still filled in.
• If the edit option is not available, make sure you are viewing a recipe you created yourself.
• If an image upload fails while editing, try again with a smaller file.
