How Do I Import a Recipe?
Note: At this time, we're currently supporting all public websites that use Schema.org to markup their recipes. If you're importing recipes or images from websites other than your own, you'll need permission from the owner, and provide reasonable attribution in accordance with the terms of their website.

All ingredients we were able to match with in our database (which includes custom ingredients you've added yourself) will be indicated with a green checkmark. Unmatched ingredients will require a "Category" be matched. Additionally, any ingredient you simply don't want to include can be removed at this stage by clicking the "x" icon to the right of each ingredient.
Note: Although this step may seem cumbersome at first, it's required to ensure the most accurate nutrition information can be generated for your recipe.
