Use a recipe: scaling, ratings, notes and nutrition

Change the number of servings

Use - and + next to the servings count, or pick ½×, 1×, 2× or 3×. Every ingredient amount updates. US and Metric switch the units. If you then choose Start cooking, cook mode uses the same servings.

Rate it and log that you made it

Tap a star under Rate this recipe. You'll see your rating and the household's average. Choose Made it after cooking to record Servings made and optional notes. History shows every time someone made it.

Keep private notes

The Private notes card holds anything you want to remember, like "doubled the garlic". Each entry starts with the date. A connected AI agent can add notes here too.

Calculate nutrition

Choose Calculate nutrition to work out calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving from the ingredients. It matches each ingredient against USDA food data. After you edit ingredients, choose Recalculate nutrition. To send the recipe to MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Cronometer or MacroFactor, choose Log in a calorie tracker under Nutrition Facts. See Log a recipe in a calorie tracker.

Find recipes faster

On the Recipes page you can search, sort by Most recent, A-Z, Quickest or Top rated, and filter by difficulty, cook time or tag. View switches between grid and list layouts. If your household has set diets or allergies, Fits our household shows only recipes that fit, and a recipe that doesn't fit shows a small warning like Not nut-free. To find recipes from what's in your kitchen, use What can I make?.
